What makes Franciscan University pilgrimages different from other traveling organizations?
The emphasis of our journeys is that of a pilgrimage, not just a sightseeing tour. Pilgrimages with Franciscan University of Steubenville span over 20 years. Throughout our history as today, it is our goal to create an environment of rest and relaxation while drawing each pilgrim closer to Jesus, the Church, and the Catholic community. We desire each pilgrim to appreciate more fully those who have gone before us; the Fathers of the Church, the martyrs, and the Saints are all shining examples for us as we journey in faith. Traveling with Franciscan University Journeys and our spiritual leaders will help you understand and appreciate the richness and beauty of the Catholic Church. As we take people to holy and historical places, visiting the churches, seeing the relics, and listening to the history and legends are all stepping stones on our walk; the true take-away of each pilgrimage should be conversion.
