Join us to deepen faith and build community through walked pilgrimage in the Catholic tradition.
Modern Catholic Pilgrim seeks to make pilgrimage accessible and to empower people to become pilgrims in their own communities, rooted in centuries-old traditions of pilgrimage and biblical hospitality.
We work to support and promote self-led pilgrimages, one-day pilgrimages, and multi-day pilgrimages for young adults.
To learn more about our upcoming pilgrimage opportunities and look for something in your area, or to participate in our Marian pilgrimage initiative for the month of May, explore the buttons below!
PILGRIMAGE
Upcoming Pilgrimages
Our multi-day pilgrims are served by staying with fellow Christians while on the road. Consider opening your parish or home to pilgrims to break bread or provide a place to rest.
Our pilgrims do not carry tents and sleeping bags nor rely on a support vehicle to do so, but instead trust in the generosity of hosts coordinated by MCP to receive them along the journey.
HOSPITALITY
ANYWHERE
I have enjoyed my fair share of pilgrimages to holy sites, but each has been in a different country. Through Will and Modern Catholic Pilgrim, I discovered holy sites are in my own backyard and across all nations, including ours. MCP made a pilgrimage accessible to the San Diego community and brought me closer to my now friends through a weekend set aside for Jesus, adventure, and a leap of faith.
