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!

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.

The Holy Land

“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
