      About this trip

      Join The Mission of Cor Jesu for a 1-day pilgrimage and retreat at the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe at Marytown led by Fr. Jerome Koutnik! Our day includes a guided tour of the Shrine and Holocaust Museum by one of the Franciscan Friars. We'll learn about the life of St. Maximilian and the Marian consecration that he spent his life promoting. 

      Together we will attend Holy Mass, and have time for private prayer, adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and confession in their breathtaking chapel designed to replicate St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. Following a group lunch, Fr. Jerome will offer two conferences on the topics of surrender to God and prayer to assist us in our spiritual journey. There will be time for reflection, to walk the grounds, and shop in their amazing Catholic gift shop.

      I Had a wonderful experience and the memories will remain with me forever. The arrangements were excellent as was the driver and tour guide and, of course, Fr. Jerome. A very memorable and rewarding religious experience.

      Wonderful trip! The people were great! The accommodations were wonderful, and the sites were amazing! This little pilgrimage left me with wanting to do many more! Thank you, Libby and Father Koutnik, for such a wonderful experience!

      Another "five star" pilgrimage with Cor Jesu. I don't know how Libby packs so many amazing experiences within a short amount of time. I always enjoy meeting new people who share a love for our beautiful Catholic faith. Father Jerome's thought provoking homilies during our bus rides is an added bonus. Special thanks to Clyde who kept us safe traveling to and from our destinations.
