Bold Pilgrim — Catholic PilgrimagesPlan a pilgrimage

FOR PRIESTS · DISCERN LEADING A PILGRIMAGE

Where might you be called
to lead your people?

A pilgrimage is a work of ministry before it is a trip. You are its spiritual father. Bold Pilgrim exists so that you can lead one without becoming a travel agent: the hotels, the coaches, the registrations, the payments and the phone calls are ours; the Mass, the preaching, the confessions and the people are yours.

You shepherd your people. We handle the journey.

THREE WAYS TO BEGIN

Start where you are.

About five minutes

Help me discern a pilgrimage

You feel drawn to lead your people somewhere, and the where is still open. Start with what you hope they encounter.

Begin discerning

About two minutes

I already know where I want to go

A shrine, a saint, an event, or a route is already on your heart. Tell us that, and little else.

Tell us where

About three minutes

I’ve led pilgrimages before

You’ve done this before. Tell us what you’d keep, what you’d change, and where you’d like to lead your people next.

WHEN YOU LEAD

Your people find your pilgrimage, not a catalog.

Once a journey is set, you receive a page of your own, at an address you can say aloud after Mass, with your pilgrimage, its dates, and one button to register. Parishioners search for you by name, parish or diocese. See a sample priest page or how parishioners find their priest.

EVERY PILGRIMAGE BEGINS WITH A FIRST STEP

Where is your faith
calling you?

Tell us what you have in mind. A place, a prayer intention, a parish, or simply a desire to go.
