The Saints of Divine Mercy
A pilgrimage to Poland offers you the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the saints of Divine Mercy: St. Faustina, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and Pope St. John Paul II. Journey to their hometowns, walk where they walked, and pray in the churches where they prayed.
Visit memorable places such as the magnificent Marian shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa and the cell block where St. Kolbe was martyred at Auschwitz. Don't forget to bring your prayer intentions as we visit St. Faustina's convent and pray before the original Divine Mercy image.
