Divine Mercy Pilgrimage to Poland 2025 & 2026

Our tour guide for the pilgrimage to Poland, Kristof, was excellent. He went above and beyond the typical tour guide’s duties. I needed wheelchair assistance for part of the trip; he told my daughter that he would push me up the steep inclines, and he did! He reminded us to make sure we had our suitcases as we left each hotel. He gave good recommendations of additional things to see and do, based on our particular interests. And…he threw in extra surprises!

Our priest, Father Michael, was excellent as well. He showed personal interest in each one of us. He offered to help us, not only on the trip, but in the future if we needed him. He celebrated Mass daily in chapels of all the churches we visited, and on the bus traveling from place to place, he led us in saying the rosary.

I appreciate Catholic Journeys persisting in resolving an issue with the first hotel that I experienced!

The Divine Mercy pilgrimage was a truly uplifting spiritual experience!

Thanks, Pat

Catholic Journeys was excellent leading me through the booking process, communicating flight & hotel information, and detailing out the itinerary for the Divine Mercy Pilgrimage to Poland. Krzysztof, our guide, was OUTSTANDING! He was knowledgeable, prepared us for what we were going to see before arriving at the site (hand-outs, videos, etc.), and watched out for “everyone” under his care. Even though my father was 100% Polish which was an extra bonus to see and “put my feet” on the fatherland, I went for the spiritual experience, “Period”. Father Michael was excellent! We had confession availability, Mass daily, rosary on the bus, and highly relatable sermons. I arrived home with a renewed and deeper spirituality, which was a “gift” of a lifetime and as a bonus made new, forever friends.

Dear Catholic Journeys,

This review is for the 9/9-9-17/24 Poland Divine Mercy Pilgrimage. This was my first pilgrimage taken with Catholic Journeys and to start off I was very impressed. The itinerary was very well planned and our tour guide, Christopher, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the Poland pilgrimage sites and he also gave detailed history of the conflict between the Polish people and the German and Russian aggression which led up to WWII and the catastrophic events of that war. He took very good care of us and I give him an A+.
The hotel accommodations were extremely nice. The rooms were clean and the food was tasty and in heavy supply. The pilgrims were wonderful, good Catholics, very kind, personable and we formed a wonderful bond together. We intend to keep up with each other and meet again on another Catholic Journeys pilgrimage, maybe the Peru foodies which the spiritual director mentioned he would be the chaplain on. Speaking of the spiritual director I am a little prejudiced since he is my brother but I thought he did an excellent job. He prayed with the pilgrims daily, gave great homilies, heard confession and gave the anointing of the sick to whomever asked.
Ok that about does it. The pilgrimage to Poland exceeded my expectations and I plan to go on another Catholic Journeys pilgrimage soon more than likely the Peru foodies with my brother Fr. Michael Marascalco. God bless yall.

The Divine Mercy pilgrimage to Poland was everything I hoped for and more. Our guide provided us with in depth information on Polish history. Learning Polish phrases proved to be very difficult for some of us but he did not give up!! Being able to attend Mass daily at the particular sites that were associated with St Faustina, St Pope John Paul II and St Maximillian Kolbe were highlights for me. Thank you also Father Michael for shepherding us on this spiritual journey. The pilgrimage to Poland was well organized and I hope to travel with Catholic Journeys again.

The entire staff of Catholic Journeys – Marcelle, Hannah and Jimmy needs to be commended. This pilgrimage to Poland was seamless starting from registration, trip preparations, arrival to and departure from Poland. all the itineraries detailed on this trio – shrines, hotels, dinners etc. thoroughly exceeded our expectations.

This Poland pilgrimage connected us to a deeper level of understanding of our Catholic faith. Father Paul and Deacon Manny Acosta worked diligently to enrich our spiritual nourishment with the daily masses and their homilies. They also made this trip fun and enjoyable. Marta, our guide, truly immersed us through her phenomenal knowledge of the lives of St. John Paul II, St. Maximillian Kolbe and St. Faustina.

This was a fantastic pilgrimage, one that will surely be remembered. We are sure to recommend Catholic Journeys, especially the Divine Marcy Pilgrimage to Poland to our friends and relatives.
