ABOUT YOUR TRIP
A Catholic pilgrimage through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland offers a reflective journey shaped by centuries of faith, sacred art, and Alpine landscapes. Pilgrims often visit historic shrines and abbeys, participate in Mass and moments of prayer, and walk paths long associated with devotion to Mary and the saints. Along the way, the rhythm of daily worship is balanced with time for quiet contemplation, fellowship, and appreciation of the cultural traditions that have grown around these holy places, making the pilgrimage both spiritually renewing and culturally enriching.
We offer a complete itinerary that includes round-trip airfare, first-class hotel accommodations, daily breakfast and dinner, all transportation, and daily Masses, all under Nativity’s excellent organization and leadership.
