Walk where the Saints walked
Journey to the world’s holiest places with Chris Stefanick. Daily Mass, life-changing talks, and a joy that does not end when you get home.
A pilgrimage is not a vacation. It is an encounter that brings your faith back to life.
Founder and President, Real Life Catholic
Chris Stefanick is an internationally renowned Catholic speaker, author, and television host who has devoted his life to sharing the love of Jesus, and helping others do the same.
Founder and president of Real Life Catholic, a Denver-based ministry, Chris has reached millions through live seminars, EWTN, and his bestselling books, including Living Joy. A graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville and a recipient of the Papal Benemerenti Medal, he leads pilgrims with the same bold, contagious faith that fills his events.
On pilgrimage he’s often joined by his wife, Natalie – his partner in ministry and marriage, and mother of their six children.
Travel with Chris to some of the most sacred places on earth. Spots are limited, and they fill fast.
