We invite Parish Priests, Parish Secretaries or Parish Councils to consider the benefits of motivating and accompanying a Parish Pilgrimage as a powerful means of Community and Spiritual renewal.
The choice of destinations, duration, hotel standard, departure date and preferred group size is yours to decide. We will even create a personalised brochure for you to promote at your local level and travel to your parish to co-host a Pilgrimage Information Night to get the ball rolling.
With 40 years in the trade, our Custom Groups Team looks forward to the opportunity to talk further about designing, costing and launching a most successful pilgrimage departure on behalf of your parish or community group. We promise to make this process quick, easy, cost effective and without any obligation on your part.

PARISH INFORMATION NIGHT
One of our expert Pilgrimage Directors is ready to schedule a visit to your parish to help facilitate an informative session to promote the features of your pilgrimage and answer any questions from parishioners. This can be done as an Expression of Interest exercise or as a Promotional evening after the pilgrimage has been launched.
“Take time out to go on a pilgrimage. It allows you to take stock of your faith and other gifts, your opportunities and challenges, while receiving all the graces that come with being on pilgrimage. I have been on many pilgrimages organised by Harvest. Their mission as a company is not to provide religious tourism, but genuine pilgrimage, helping people to experience the holy places and to grow in their faith and love of God.
They engage excellent guides and organise all the details so you can focus on immersing yourself in the life of Christ and His saints.”
“The power of the pilgrimage was felt by everyone as we walked on holy and historical grounds. Many of the pilgrims had not travelled before and the exchange in cultures and the breadth of learning was palatable. Not one pilgrim was unmoved as we were led in trust and not as tourists.
Harvest’s local guides were of the highest quality, well versed in English and in the pilgrim spirit. There on the ground team members manage local and distant issues that sometimes arise with sensitivity and speed, while not detracting from the overall movement and experience of the whole group. I have been involved with Harvest for several years now and I would not look at travelling with another pilgrimage company.
Our parish family has been renewed by this pilgrimage in words that cannot be easily explained. We are wiser and more enriched with the knowledge of these sacred lands now deeply embedded in our personal faith lives. We all had a story to tell but we now share them together with greater ease and enthusiasm!”
“Pilgrimage strengthens both the personal life of parishioners and parish life. As a priest, during the pilgrimage, I get to know parishioners on another more pastoral level and to hear their journey and speak into their faith life more than I ever could back in the parish.
On returning I have found that most pilgrims have a yearning to be more and more involved in parish life in many ministries but particularly in leadership. For example, after running four parish pilgrimages, we now have a very committed team of 71 leaders and ministers – and more to come. Also, the parishioners have a keen want to undertake adult faith education, especially in ecclesiology and scripture.
Day by day the spin-offs from pilgrimage are amazing to witness. Pilgrimage is the journey both now and for the future of our parish and ministry.”
