In the Spirit of Notre Dame
The tradition of the Fighting Irish continues when you join other Notre Dame alumni and friends on a special pilgrimage from Verso Ministries. These trips are handcrafted for the intellectually curious and spiritually hungry who want to experience a true Catholic pilgrimage that is created in the spirit of the University and its traditions.
When you travel with Notre Dame and Verso Ministries, you’ll experience:
All trips are sponsored by the Notre Dame Alumni Travel Program, whose goal is to “provide travel opportunities for our alumni and the entire Notre Dame family, reinforcing the University’s traditions and values with emphasis on the educational, as well as religious character that is unique to Our Lady’s University.”
As you travel across the Iberian Peninsula, you will encounter countless reminders that God continues to work in the world– in big miracles and in small quiet whispers. Highlights include praying at the Grotto and washing the miraculous spring of Lourdes, participating in the candlelight processions at both Fatima and Lourdes, encountering three Marian apparition sites, a Eucharistic miracle, and multiple UNESCO world heritage sites, and exploring vibrant cities like Lisbon and Zaragoza.
Join the Notre Dame Traveling Irish and Verso Ministries on a Marian pilgrimage across France, Spain, and Portugal. From Lourdes to Fatima, pray at both ancient and modern Marian sites and immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and spirituality of the Iberian Peninsula. From breathtaking vistas to delicious cuisine to encounters with saints like Bernadette, Teresa of Ávila, and Dominic, this pilgrimage will inspire you to embrace Mary’s example of faith and increase your love of Jesus by entering into deeper relationship with his Mother.
Walk with Verso Ministries through the very epicenter of the Christian faith. As we tour Israel and West Bank, walking where Jesus walked, and visiting the very places that have changed the world, you’ll experience God closer than ever before. And with special access to many of these locations, Verso provides a Holy Land pilgrimage like no other.
