About this trip

Join The Mission of Cor Jesu for a 1-day pilgrimage and retreat at the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe at Marytown led by Fr. Jerome Koutnik! Our day includes a guided tour of the Shrine and Holocaust Museum by one of the Franciscan Friars. We'll learn about the life of St. Maximilian and the Marian consecration that he spent his life promoting. 

Together we will attend Holy Mass, and have time for private prayer, adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and confession in their breathtaking chapel designed to replicate St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. Following a group lunch, Fr. Jerome will offer two conferences on the topics of surrender to God and prayer to assist us in our spiritual journey. There will be time for reflection, to walk the grounds, and shop in their amazing Catholic gift shop.

My wife and I enjoyed this pilgrimage to Iowa. The stops were well planned and we stayed on time all day. We had a little extra time at the winery which we all enjoyed. The bus driver was polite and courteous. Having perfect weather certainly helped.

We all had a Great time and what a tremendous experience at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows and at the Tomb of Bishop Fulton Sheen. The bus ride was comfortable, the stops where well timed, the food stops were enjoyed by all and the overnight accommodations were comfortable and clean. Traveling on Pilgrimage with Fr Jerome and Libby made lasting memories in our hearts and minds through the private masses, rosary and prayer.

We had so much fun! Camping was beautiful. There eas plenty of food at the meals served. The pork roast and corn boil Saturday night was the best! The kids loved free snow cones all weekend. The property is absolutely gorgeous and everyone is so kind.

I Had a wonderful experience and the memories will remain with me forever. The arrangements were excellent as was the driver and tour guide and, of course, Fr. Jerome. A very memorable and rewarding religious experience.
