John Paul Tours Demo

to a sacred destination with our relationship with Our Heavenly Father, Christ Jesus His son, and our Blessed Mother in mind. Many people travel on pilgrimages to leave behind their day-to-day lives for at least a short time and deepen their relationship with God. Others focus on educating themselves on the history of their faith, building their appreciation of how and where things came to be in our faith. Many people see a pilgrimage as a dedication to God, which can lead to forgiveness and healing. It truly is amazing to immerse yourself in the peacefulness of the various sacred places we visit. Often people wonder why it is so important to go on pilgrimage, to see for example the relics of a

‘Eucharistic Miracle’, while realizing a true miracle occurs at every Mass during Consecration. This is a valid thought, but nearly every pilgrim comes to realize we don’t need to see to believe. It is by visiting holy places and learning of the sights, that we are given the opportunity to deepen our relationship with the Lord and remind ourselves of the beauty of our faith. JPPT caters specifically to groups of the faithful and the possibilities are endless. We do not schedule trips and then offer them to individuals around the globe, hoping to get enough people for a ‘quota’. Our trips are started with our organizer’s input. Our group leaders and organizers are your familiar priests or their designee. We

meet with them not only by phone or email, but also in person. JPPT is well connected with airlines, hotel and restaurant owners, and our destinations themselves. We have a small number of very experienced tour guides contracted with our office, one of which will meet you at the airport, then stay with your group until you board your flight home. This is in addition to the many local guides and priests at specific destinations with whom we contract. Over 2,000 priests in the last 25 years have led groups like yours with us on the most remarkable and exclusive journeys you can imagine. Thank you for taking the opportunity to get to know us and our ministry. Please feel free to contact us directly should you have any questions.

“It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and

more fraternal.” - Pope Saint John Paul II Address at World Youth Day Rome, August 19th, 2000
