  • Fr. Mathew King
    Pastor of Blessed Trinity Catholic Church in Jacksonville, FL

    Our pilgrimage with Canterbury Pilgrimages to Italy was unforgettable. Every detail was meticulously arranged for 59 pilgrims. Delicious meals and exceptional accommodations offered a tranquil retreat. Our guides’ expertise brought each destination to life. Highly recommended for a transformative pilgrimage experience.

  • Fr. Jonathon Gaspar
    Priest Secretary to Cardinal Sean O’Malley

    Canterbury Pilgrimages is an excellent travel agency that I highly recommend. They organized a pilgrimage for nearly 500 people in Quebec with outstanding coordination. As a Catholic family, they understand the meaning of a pilgrimage. Their handling of multiple bus pickups and drop-offs in New Hampshire was flawless. I highly recommend them.

  • Fr. Pedro Nunez
    EWTN TV Host

    First, I thank God for connecting us with you and Canterbury Pilgrimages. Our pilgrimage to Greece, Turkey, and the Holy Land was a blessing for all 100 participants and my assistants. This is the first time I can completely trust a company for every detail. We’ll be in touch soon.

  • Dcn. Edward Sheffer
    Pastoral Associate at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Tucson, AZ

    I’ve used Canterbury Pilgrimages many times, and each trip has touched me deeply. You see amazing sites, stay in first-class accommodations, enjoy wonderful food, and form special friendships. They ensure the best local guides and expose you to unique local culture. I’m grateful for these enriching spiritual experiences.

    On behalf of the parishioners, and myself, thank you for everything during the pilgrimage. Celeste, Rita, and Massiel, your efforts were deeply appreciated. To the entire Canterbury team, thank you for making our experience spiritual and enjoyable. God bless you!

  • Msgr. Vito A. Buonanno
    Associate Rector and Director of Pilgrimages of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

    Thank you for organizing the Magnificat: “A Ministry to Catholic Women” Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on April 25, 2015. This event witnessed great faith and deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The women of Magnificat were filled with the Holy Spirit, evident in prayer and throughout the day. What a blessing!

  • Fr. Jeremy Paulin, O.M.V.
    USA OMV Vocation Director

    I write this letter with joy, confidence, and gratitude for Canterbury Pilgrimages as a vocations director, I see how powerful pilgrimages inspire people to greater holiness and religious life. My own call came during a Canterbury pilgrimage in 1997. Each pilgrimage has increased my faith and deepened my relationship with God. It’s a blessing to walk where Jesus and Mary walked and to visit holy places. I look forward to our next pilgrimage together!

  • Fr. Brendan Rolling, O.S.B
    Focus Chaplain

    Canterbury Pilgrimages created a wonderful adventure for our group. Excellent accommodations, transportation, guides, and drivers. Meals introduced us to local culture. Exploring Poland and following in the footsteps of saints was unforgettable. Visits to holy sites and historic places made lasting memories. Thank you!

  • Fr. William Mcneeley
    Pastor of our Lady of Fatima Parish in Alcoa, TN

    Canterbury Pilgrimages is the best! I can’t thank them enough for the fantastic job they did planning and coordinating our memorable pilgrimage. They kept us informed, and our guide took care of all our needs from arrival to departure. My parishioners had a wonderful experience, and Canterbury Pilgrimages made it easy, fun, and meaningful for all of us.

  • Fr. Scott A. Euvrard
    Pastor of St. Anthony Parish in Cohasset, MA & St. Mary Parish in Hull, MA

    Many thanks for all your assistance in making our recently completed pilgrimage possible. The pilgrims have given many positive comments. Our guides, Sue and Doug were excellent. At some point, I’d like to have an initial conversation about a pilgrimage in the future…

  • Father Philip Pacheco, O.F.M. Portrait.
    Fr. Philip Pacheco, O.F.M.
    Pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Derry, NH

    The pilgrimage to visit the Holy Shroud was truly inspiring, taking us from Turin to Assisi to the Eternal City. Canterbury Pilgrimages provided two wonderful, accommodating tour guides. The hotels were exquisite, and the meals were memorable. Our group still speaks highly of this cherished experience.

  • Fr. Gary Belliveau
    Pastor of Corpus Christi Parish in Portsmouth, NH

    After working with Canterbury Pilgrimages & Tours for pilgrimages to Italy and Poland, I am excited about our upcoming pilgrimage to France. Their understanding of the faith foundation, flexibility in trip planning, and attention to detail have made it a pleasure to work with the staff at Canterbury!

  • Fr. Peter Fegan, O.P.
    Pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Zanesville, OH

    It was great to be on pilgrimage last week with Canterbury. Very professional and friendly. I know you didn’t need a chaplain since you had Bishop Wall, but I’m glad I could join and grateful to tag along gratis. You must have been busy ensuring everything was ready for 150 of us. You and your crew are great, and I’m very grateful.

  • Fr. Richard H. Dion
    Pastor of St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Manchester, NH

    I hope this letter joins the many testimonials praising your professional and caring staff. We cannot express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible trip to Turin and Rome this year. Rita was the most sincere and hospitable guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Having traveled often, Rita and her mother were by far the most informative and pleasant. With the sentiments of my fellow travelers, we are planning a trip to Ireland next year and a trip to Fatima for its anniversary the following year.
