Planning a Catholic Pilgrimage?
You don’t have to do it alone.

A pilgrimage can be a spiritual and relational high point for you and your community. But along with the potential for awakened souls and an unforgettable group experience comes an intense amount of planning and logistics. That’s where Verso can help.

Turn-key solution

We take care of all the details so you can focus on your ministry. We’ll coordinate registration and payment collection, take care of all travel arrangements, and handle all questions from your pilgrims. We will even help you promote and market your pilgrimage.

We’ve done our homework by inspecting hotels, tasting menus, and scoping out hidden gems so you can trust that your group’s experience will be top notch.

Your guides will help to make the spiritual significance come alive by giving you the historical facts and cultural context necessary to get a full understanding of the places you visit.

Hotels, meals, guides, tickets, tips – everything you need for a successful pilgrimage – are included standard in all of our packages.

Leaders travel FREE

Our standard packages include 1 free leader for every 15 full-paying pilgrims. Take your priest, sponsor a pilgrim, or use it for yourself!

Flexible group sizes

Whether you’ve got 10 pilgrims or 100 pilgrims, we can handle it.

Our mission is our ministry.

Ultimately, it’s our mission to help people grow closer to God through the experience of pilgrimage. So not only will your group receive suggested packing lists and travel tips from us, they will also receive spiritual preparation and prayer resources.

Focused on the Logistical and the Spiritual

Before founding Verso Ministries, John Paul Lichon worked in college campus ministry with planning pilgrimages as a small part of his job. Not finding any pilgrimage companies that understood the full vision of Catholic pilgrimage and delivering on every aspect, he started a ministry that would.

On a Verso Ministries pilgrimage, we take care of all the logistical AND spiritual preparations so you can be truly present throughout your journey. Each step of the way is guided — curated to maximize sacred encounters with everything and everyone around you.
