Our Pilgrimage to Poland was such a gift of faith, beauty, history, culture, and virtue! We had such an amazing time walking in the footsteps of such spiritual giants! Going on a Canterbury Pilgrimage was a wonderful way to see the world through the lens of the Church! Praise God for their ministry to souls all over the world!

As a newspaper editor, I appreciated Canterbury Pilgrimages organizing an affordable seven-day pilgrimage to Mexico City for a priest’s ordination. It was a spiritual journey with majestic churches and shrines. Canterbury handled all logistics, and our hotel was accommodating. Tour leader Fernando Castañeda’s knowledge and faith made the trip exceptional. Partnering with Canterbury was a positive experience, marked by professionalism and courtesy.

I have had the joy of leading pilgrims on several Canterbury Pilgrimages. The pilgrims have been delighted with the arrangements that were made including accommodations, guides and the holy sites they have visited. They found the experiences an opportunity to deepen their faith. I have always found Canterbury helpful and cooperative in organizing and planning the pilgrimages. They go out of their way to accommodate the group’s needs.
