A pilgrimage is not a vacation or excursion but a unique spiritual journey that provides many opportunities to deepen your relationship with God and enrich your Catholic faith by bringing Scripture to life. Pilgrimages offer the opportunity to let Christ draw you near, and your chaplain is there to guide you spiritually on the journey.

This is an active programme. Days usually start with a wake-up call around 7am and departure by 9am, and we aim to be back at the hotel between 5pm and 6pm. We encourage all pilgrims to be able to walk 3 to 4 miles per day. The pace is moderate, but you will encounter uneven surfaces, stairs and significant slopes, and some tours involve walking in the open air with no shade and no seating.

Today you register: we collect contact and travel details and how you would like to set up your pilgrimage. Full payment is due 90 days before departure, which is also the last day to sign up if space remains. At 30 days your pilgrim travel kit is mailed: travel app invitation, flight and trip itinerary, name badge, luggage tag, a Magnificat and a copy of the Canterbury Tales.

Solo travellers are always welcome; a single supplement applies if you wish to room alone. If you wish to share, we will attempt to connect you with another pilgrim of the same gender. Shared rooms are always doubles with two beds. Doubles are available in one or two bed configurations. In the USA, expect one king bed or two queen beds.

Kauai is within the United States, so no passport is required for US citizens travelling domestically. Bring valid government-issued photo identification that meets TSA requirements for your flights. If you hold a passport from another country, please check US entry requirements.

We strongly encourage travel insurance for all of our pilgrims, and we partner with Allianz Travel Insurance to offer affordable coverage. Most of our pilgrims choose the Classic Plan. Insurance can be quoted and purchased after registration.

We will always do what we can to accommodate pilgrims who need specific seating due to a medical condition or disability, and wheelchair assistance is available from the airline. On the ground, uneven surfaces and some stairs are part of this itinerary. We can arrange handicap-accessible rooms where available, and wheelchair rentals pending availability. Wheelchair users must have a designated travel companion.

Yes. Booking airfare yourself lets you spend airline miles, handpick seats or deviate from the group. Group transfers on arrival run between 10am and 4pm on the 11th; hotel check-in is guaranteed at 4pm with the welcome reception at 7pm. Please schedule departures from Lihue for 11:00 AM or later on the 18th, or the 21st for the extension.
