My vocation and my purpose as a mother and a woman business-owner is to serve God's holy people.
PEACE LOVEPILGRIMAGEis an apostolate, not a travel agency. It is a combination of prayer and travel to holy and sacred sites. This kind of experience can be a physical, mental or spiritual awakening to Embrace Your Faith Journey.
We all experience unexpected or undesirable paths at different times in our lives, sometimes referred to as a dark night of a soul.. Faith is when we accept the challenge and move through unchartered territory discerning a new or different path. Sometimes we don't understand why things unfold the way they do until much later in life. When we learn to trust God, we understand that His ways are so much greater than our own. God turns darkness into light and He uses our pain for a much greater purpose, it's called redemptive suffering.
I never choose faith travel, God did. My passion from a young age grew from traveling and visiting different churches. When I completed my Masters degree in Pastoral Theology as a mother raising two young children, I heard God call me to know Him, to love Him and to serve Him in this unique way.
Peace Love Pilgrimage began when Pope Francis announced to the would that he would be attending the World Meeting of Families in 2015. One advertisement and twenty-four hours later, fifty-six pilgrims were registered to ride on a motor-coach bus overnight from Indiana to Philadelphia, to celebrate Mass on Benjamin Franklin Highway and received the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
My approach is real and authentic. Steeped in Catholicism yet welcoming to all faiths, the mission is an invitation to walk in the footsteps of the Saints, receive (optional) the Sacraments and/or to participate in SoulCorerosary exercise.
Every pilgrim survey measures improvement and defines success. My hope and my prayer is that you will find a saint working in your life in the same manner that I did.
