Poland and ancient Bohemia are lands where faith has withstood wars, persecution, and darkness, giving the Church some of the most luminous witnesses of modern times: Saint Faustina Kowalska, messenger of Divine Mercy; Saint Maximilian Kolbe, martyr of charity; and Saint John Paul II, universal shepherd whose life profoundly marked the 20th century. On this pilgrimage, we will journey through the places where these saints lived and left incredible traces of the Gospel: Łagiewniki, Niepokalanów, Auschwitz, Jasna Góra, Wadowice, and Kraków—spiritual hearts of a nation that never ceased to believe.

To these treasures of Poland is added the spiritual beauty of Prague, where the Infant Jesus blesses the world from the Church of Our Lady of Victory, and where shrines such as Svatá Hora and the city’s medieval churches speak of centuries of devotion, art, and faith. Central Europe thus reveals itself as a mosaic of mercy, martyrdom, and hope, where God has continued to act even in the most difficult moments of history.

This itinerary also offers a profound encounter with the continent’s recent history: places marked by humanity’s suffering, such as Auschwitz, become spaces of reflection where the light of Christian witness overcomes darkness. Each day alternates moments of recollection, celebrations, walking, culture, and fraternity, inviting the pilgrim to live an integral experience in which, as individual pilgrims and as a community of faith, we journey forward together.

This is not merely a cultural trip, but an interior path of prayer and contemplation. It is an opportunity to rediscover the strength of faith borne witness by the saints, to unite as a community, and to allow ourselves to be renewed by the Mercy of Christ through every shrine, every venerated relic, and every shared celebration.

The beauty of these countries and the spiritual depth of their traditions will accompany the pilgrim at every step of the journey. We express our profound gratitude to Father Matías Hualpa, whose trust and pastoral guidance make this pilgrimage possible, as well as to each pilgrim who joins this spiritual path with an open heart. May this journey lead us closer to the Merciful Heart of Jesus and allow us to return strengthened, grateful, and filled with the grace received.

Along the route, we will also see the Church of St. Andrew and the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.

Breakfast. At the scheduled time, departure toward Prague, making a stop in Brno. The city of Brno, the second largest in population and area in the Czech Republic, remained for a long time in the shadow of the beautiful Prague. Recognized as the capital of South Moravia since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, Brno and its distinctive character have earned various nicknames over the years.

Some refer to it as the “Czech Vienna”, due both to its proximity to the Austrian capital and its monumental similarities. Others know it as the “Manchester of Central Europe”, as it still preserves numerous factories dating back to the time of the Industrial Revolution. Continuation to Prague.
Dinner and overnight in Prague.

Breakfast. Today we will dedicate the day to visiting the Czech capital. We will go to the Prague Castle and explore the city center, where we will see the Cathedral (exterior visit), among other points of interest. Breakfast and dinner included. Overnight in Prague.

Breakfast. Today we will travel to Svatá Hora. For more than three centuries, this Marian pilgrimage site has risen above the town of Příbram, holding great importance at the European level. From afar, its towers and dome welcome pilgrims, making Svatá Hora near Příbram one of the most beautiful pilgrimage sites in Central Europe. Its significance is further demonstrated by the fact that the Pope granted the Church of Svatá Hora the title of Minor Basilica, a distinction reserved only for the most important Christian temples in the world.

Breakfast and dinner included. Overnight in Prague.

Very early in the morning, transfer to Prague Airport to take our flight to Warsaw, departing at 07:10 and arriving at 08:20. Our connecting flight to Miami will depart at 12:25, with an estimated arrival at 17:40. Arrival. End of the journey and of our services.
