Young Families Pilgrimage
Grow as a Family & Make Friends
Join us in Krakow, Poland for a young families pilgrimage through the heart and tracks of Karol Wojtyla. Discover the model of our patron’s “Środowisko”, an environment of family life to live out the call to holiness and transmit the Gospel to the world. Designed for families with young children to have a peaceful and enriching experience.


An Itinerary Inspired by JPII
This trip features a number of sites associated with Pope Saint John Paul II, including Krakow Old Town, the Divine Mercy Shrine, the John Paul II Be Not Afraid Center, Wadowice (JP2’s hometown), Częstochowa: The National Shrine and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, a favorite Wojtyla pilgrimage site!
Highlights
Family & Fellowship
The pace, schedule & logistics of this trip were planned with young children in mind. The events and overall dynamic are meant to build a community among participating families and reflect JP2’s “Środowisko.” You’ll find the evenings flexible with plenty of time to build friendships (bring your baby monitors)! We even have free babysitters when necessary!
Christian Formation
Throughout the course of the trip we will enjoy daily sessions and discussions on real challenges to marriage and family life, in the modern world in particular. The underlying purpose of these sessions is to help each other grow as young families dedicated to Christ, using JPII’s life and teachings as our model!
Faith & Spirituality
Each day features private Mass and prayer. We even have our own private chaplain throughout the course of our time together! You’ll find that each touring program, learning session and excursion has been designed to bring you and your family closer to Christ, and furthermore to help you find inner renewal and strength as a family!
Very Affordable
Our world can make it difficult at times for young families to survive, much less thrive. Let’s change that!
Truly Life-Changing
It was truly life-changing…this has been sooo good for our children…they had so much fun! This is truly an invaluable investment in your family… It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
