We had a wonderful time! We loved traveling with our group! Our guide in Rome, Josephina was excellent, she was attentive and kind. Her friend and fellow guide Sofia was also so kind. Our booking agent Cristina was on the ball and answered all our questions prior to the trip. We appreciated her phone calls. We saw everything we had hoped for and more. JMJ and another pilgrim leader Steve from Miami, were able to pivot successfully since Pope Francis died the week we traveled, so Carlos’ canonization was postponed but we saw Pope Francis’ funeral events. The food was good, we loved our hotel and we saw a combo of religious sites and historical. It was mostly religious which was our goal. Thank you so much, we are grateful!

Our trip to France with our high school students was incredible. JMJ Catholic is the best travel company to book your trips. Our school has used them numerous times. They are professional, dependable, timely, responsible, economical, and provide a personal, beautifully spiritual and excellent experience for all involved. Our trip was extremely well organized. Our lodgings, food and schedule were perfect. We were able to visit all of the highlights in France that we wanted to experience in a well prepared and timely manner- all with a personal touch as to our group needs. I would highly recommend their services- you will not be disappointed! Barbara De La Torre, Founder and Board member, St. Joseph Academy (San Marcos, CA).

We had an incredible pilgrimage to France with JMJ! The sites and experiences left me with a deep sense of awe and appreciation for the roots of our Catholic Faith and how our lives fit into an epic story. We were blessed to have powerful experiences in Mass everyday, hear moving homilies and inspiring talks, visit beautiful cathedrals and sites, spend time in prayer, grow closer to one another through fun experiences shared, and learn insightful historical knowledge told through relatable stories.

We had a great time, and JMJ was very helpful with last minute changes.

By Matthew K for Our Lady of the Pines - CO Springs - Carlo Acutis Pilgrimage on May 07, 2025

Even though the true purpose of the trip, the canonization of Carlo Acutis, was cancelled due to the death of Pope Francis, the JMJ team did an amazing job of pivoting on a day's notice. We were able see all the Holy sites originally planned and participate in the viewing of Pope Francis lying in state, as well as the funeral procession. The team is friendly and extremely efficient. I would love to go on another pilgrimage with this group.
