Holy Land
"Especially, as we were in the Advent Season, the precious moments in the Church of the Nativity, venerating the site of Our Lord Jesus' entry into the world, was my favorite moment of the pilgrimage."
Fr. Joseph K. Pilgrim from Columbus, OH
Ireland
"I feel more comfortable about talking about the Irish saints and have a deeper understanding of the trials Catholics endure, which means I will sympathize with more countries who suffer persecution and are oppressed for their belief in God. Hopefully I will pray more for the oppressed!"
Karen C. Pilgrim from Troy, TN
Germany
"Tekton Ministries is obviously extremely well-connected with all associated personnel at the pilgrimage locations! I was completely pleased with any and every aspect of this trip. Tekton's planning and administration of our pilgrimage couldn't have been better! "
Fr. Joseph K. Pilgrim from Columbus, OH
France
"The pilgrimage was fantastic, there is no way to experience so much without taking the trip through a tour service. I was absolutely amazed at how much we were able to see and do. The day we arrived we were quickly on our way to all the scheduled stops for day 2. Very impressed from the very start."
Emma P. Pilgrim from Leeds, AL
Germany
"I have a greater appreciation for the Saints as well as the fullness of our Catholic Faith."
Jennifer B. Pilgrim from Indianapolis, IN
Santiago de Compostela
"Certainly this experience changes one, and I am still processing much of my time along the Camino. The time alone walking through the hamlets, towns, and paths allowed me time to pray and converse with our Lord. I believe several of the struggles I was having, I was able to pray through, and have left on the Camino."
Donna S. Pilgrim from Charlotte, NC
Santiago de Compostela
"There were so many favorite moments along the Camino. Our tour guide was incredible. She was very resourceful, full of interesting facts and insights about the Camino, and truly enjoyed her sense of humor. In retrospect, the layout of the tour was wonderful, as we eased into our 6-day walk with first visiting Avila. All of the hotels along the way were always clean, well-equipped with amenities (even hair dryers), and many of the dinners were excellent.

Our group of pilgrims was wonderful. I feel like I have 20 new friends, that I will certainly keep in touch with over the next years. Thank you for all that you did to make this such a memorable pilgrimage for us all."
Donna S. Pilgrim from Charlotte, NC
Ireland
"It was a wonderful pilgrimage to Ireland. All of the hotels were nice-especially The Lake Hotel was stunning! I have been on five pilgrimages and this was by far the best meals we have had in hotels. The people at the hotels were very welcoming and ready to help. The people of Ireland were the same."
Kimberly D. Pilgrim from Memphis, TN
Poland/Central Europe
"I was amazed by the kindness and hospitality of the Polish people. They really made us feel at home. I also enjoyed the opportunities to venerate the relics of Saint Faustina and Saint John Paul II and to visit the places where these saints had been."
Brittany Q. Pilgrim from Rapid City, SD
