Verso Ministries’ Youth & Young Adult Pilgrimage Program invites young people into an empowering adventure of faith and culture and a community of peers passionate about discovering God’s call in their lives. There’s a whole world waiting to be explored, a world abounding opportunities to encounter God at work among us. In the spirit of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, join us as we journey “to the heights” and be transformed by the people, places, and stories you’ll encounter along the way.
We believe everything is sacred. Step out of your comfort zone and into an adventure that seamlessly integrates faith, history, and culture. Explore new cities, marvel at holy sites, taste incredible cuisine, and embrace the fullness of the world God has created. As Pope Saint John Paul II reminds us, “Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure.”
Pilgrimage draws us into unity with the global Church through the cultures and traditions of Catholics around the world. Go beyond your everyday experiences of faith, discover the beautiful diversity of the people of God, and encounter Christ in ways you never previously imagined.
Journey with a community of fellow young people seeking to deepen their faith and discover what God has in store for them. Everyone has a place on this pilgrimage because we all have something to learn from each other. Pray together, explore together, and support each other as you discern God’s call for your life and navigate what it means to live as a disciple of Christ.
Catholic pilgrimages with two tracks specifically designed with youth and young adults in mind. Dive into ancient history, connect with the Catholic faith in a whole new way, and enjoy activities designed just for young people—think heart-to-heart conversations, epic adventures, and moments that’ll light up your soul. This program offers unforgettable pilgrimages where faith meets fun and leaves pilgrims with memories to treasure!
Immerse yourself in the story Our Lady of Gualdalupe and the rich spiritual heritage of Mexico City. From the pyramids of antiquity to the taquerias of today, this journey of faith and culture will inspire you to embrace Our Lady’s invitation to relationship with Christ and community with those around us.
Encounter Our Lady of Lourdes, the story of St. Bernadette, and the beauty of the French countryside. Lourdes abounds in opportunities to reflect and explore, all while opening our hearts to God’s healing grace and the transformational power of prayer and community.
A pilgrimage is more than just another class trip. It’s a chance to be inspired in faith, immersed in culture, and encounter God’s love in a whole new way. These journeys are crafted with you in mind, and we can’t wait for you to join us!
Verso’s young adult pilgrimages integrate spirituality, community, culture, and fun into an adventure that will simultaneously ground you in faith and inspire you to grow. These journeys are designed to be accessible to college students and young professionals alike, whether you’re traveling with a group, a few friends, or on your own.
We’re here to walk with you every step of the way as you embark on this adventure, whether you’re an experienced traveler or first-time pilgrim, whether you have a whole class of students or just a small group. Let us take care of all the details so you can focus on accompanying the young people you work with. We would love to share more about the amazing impacts of pilgrimage and the dedicated support we provide for Group Leaders.
