“A vacation is an escape from life. A pilgrimage is a way to embrace life more fully. Every pilgrimage I’ve ever been on has changed my life for the better, forever. I’m so excited to take you with me.”
— Chris Stefanick

Catholic Couples Getaway
in Costa Rica

February 6 - 10, 2025

It’s time to unplug from work, step back from the urgent demands of family life…because your marriage deserves it. You deserve it! You need a long weekend away to pour into what you know matters most…a weekend that will renew your marriage, and reignite your faith!

Come away to a luxury hideaway resort in Costa Rica for a life-changing experience with Chris & Natalie Stefanick, Fr. Shawn Monahan, and Mike & Alicia of the Messy Family Project!

Poland & Prague

June 11 - 20, 2025

On this adventure we’ll follow in the footsteps of three great Polish Saints: Pope St. John Paul II, St. Faustina, and St. Maximilian Kolbe. We’ll dive deep into mercy, and learn how to model Divine Mercy in Poland: a place where our faith triumphed–even in the utter darkness of sin.

Italy: Rome, Assisi, Turin & More

July 25 - August 5, 2025

The epicenter of our Catholic Faith, Italy’s rich history of Saints, martyrs, and popes is unrivaled by any other country.   

While Chris Stefanick isn’t hosting this pilgrimage, you’ll experience Italy and celebrate the canonization of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati and Bl. Carlo Acutis with two great friends of RLC, Fr. Sean Conroy and Fr. Michael O’Loughlin. 

Trace the footsteps of Blessed Pier Giorgio beginning in Turin, his birthplace; followed by Oropa, where we’ll climb the mountains he climbed and evangelized on; then visit Pollone, his family’s summer retreat house; and finally continue the journey through and Rome.

Holy Land Pilgrimage

December 6 - 15, 2025

The altar in the cave of the annunciation has the words inscribed on it: “the Word was made flesh. Here.” That sums up the Holy Land.

You will touch the place where Jesus was laid in a manger, see the sunrise over the Sea of Galilee, and stand in the empty tomb. You’ll never pray the same. You’ll never be the same. This is the pilgrimage to end all trips. 

I promise to only take you when and if it’s safe enough to take my own children, but when it is, this trip fills up VERY fast.
