Travel with the author and apologist who has spent nearly four decades answering questions about the Catholic faith, in the places where it happened.
Patrick Madrid has spent his working life answering questions about the Catholic faith. He has written or edited more than twenty-five books, among them the Surprised by Truth series, Why Be Catholic? and Envoy for Christ, and his weekday program on Relevant Radio takes those questions live from whoever calls.
He spent eight years at Catholic Answers, founded the Envoy Institute and Envoy magazine, has debated the faith publicly since the late 1980s, and has taught apologetics at seminaries and universities. He holds an M.A. in dogmatic theology from the Pontifical College Josephinum.
Pilgrims have been travelling with him for years, to Rome, the Holy Land, Greece, England and the shrines of Europe.
Patrick hosts every pilgrimage himself and travels with the group the whole way, not just for a talk on one evening. His wife, Nancy, joins him. They have eleven children and more than thirty grandchildren.
Every departure Patrick is hosting, straight from the reservation system, so this list is never out of date. Places are limited and they fill early.
“Their staff was extremely helpful, seamlessly leading our group of 150 from San Diego to San Francisco. We enjoyed superb hotels, hearty meals, and daily Mass at the missions. Each pilgrim left spiritually refreshed and inspired.”
Bishop James S. WallPatrick offers reflections along the way, drawing on four decades of teaching the faith to connect each place with what it means for the Church.
Bring your questions. Patrick holds live Q&A sessions with the group during the pilgrimage, the same thing he does on air every weekday, only face to face.
Daily Mass is part of every day of the pilgrimage.
Comfortable first-class hotels throughout the pilgrimage.
You travel with like-minded Catholics, and with friends who are not Catholic but want to come along. Everyone is welcome.
Group dinners feature the local cuisine and wines of each region you visit.
