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.

It was a trip filled with reflection and community. We were allowed to take our time within reason but not really feeling rushed. Definitely a lot to take in. I enjoyed it a lot. The food provided was delicious and the reflections provided by the priest were very insightful. The weather also accommodated for our trip which was wonderful and our guide and sponsors were supportive of what we wanted to do while also guiding us through all the different activities. Very spiritual and physically filling.

My husband and I had a beautiful Holy Week experience. The pilgrimage to both shrines was moving and memorable. I'm already looking forward to going back with my sons. Father Jerome prepared our hearts for this meaningful endeavor and was a good shepherd from start to finish. The trip made our Easter season even more special.

I had a great time, except the bathrooms need to be handicap acessible & they're not. I shouldn't have to be concerned of how to get off the toilet. Otherwise very awesome. Holly
