Women's Pilgrimage: Journey to Krakow, Poland for a powerful pilgrimage experience that shapes your entire person. Be immersed in the beauty of Polish culture, challenged in virtue, built up in community, and transformed through an encounter with Christ. This 10-day experience takes high school women ages 16-18 through John Paul II’s footsteps with tours and activities, and into his theological and philosophical thought on the dignity of women, with dynamic seminar sessions. This year’s theme, Beauty & The Freedom to Love, draws from Scripture, Theology of the Body, Love & Responsibility, and John Paul II’s Letter on the Dignity & Vocation of Women.

"There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think about Poland! The tools I learned from y’all and from the various activities we did impacted my everyday life and my soul so much. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for giving me the greatest two weeks of my life! I know I was a rather sarcastic and angsty teen but y’all managed to light a flame in my heart that hadn’t been lit in a while. I have a picture of the Vistula River from the monastery saved as my screensaver because looking out over that on the last day with all the new memories and valuable things I had learned caused me to feel a deep inner peace I hadn’t felt in years. I hope God brings so many others to y’all so that they may feel that peace too."
