JMJ Tours: Your Pilgrimage Partner Since 1995

Embark on a sacred journey with JMJ Tours, your trusted guide for Catholic pilgrimages. With a legacy spanning back to 1995, we’ve been facilitating transformative pilgrimages to revered destinations across the globe, including the Holy Land, Europe, Canada, Mexico & Central America, and within the United States.

Our heartfelt commitment extends to assisting priests, parishes, and faith-driven communities. We’ve had the privilege of accompanying and supporting clergy and groups from the Diocese of Arlington, VA, the Archdioceses of New York, Chicago, and Washington. Our ministry also extends to the Diocese of Arlington Youth Ministry, esteemed school groups like The Heights School, Oakcrest School, Holy Family, and faith-focused organizations like the Reston Study Center and Institute of Catholic Culture.

While we specialize in crafting faith filled pilgrimages to the Holy Land, Europe and Canada our repertoire offers a diverse range of options. You can choose from day-long spiritual excursions to Philadelphia, immersive overnight experiences in Catholic New York, extended weekends in pilgrimage to Québec, or delve into longer journeys of faith exploring the depths of faith in Rome, Poland, Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Portugal, and other captivating European destinations.

A pilgrimage is a personal spiritual journey

At JMJ Tours, we understand that each pilgrimage is a deeply personal and spiritual journey. That’s why we customize every aspect to align with the unique needs and spiritual direction of our priest companions. From meticulous planning and effective promotional efforts to handling logistics such as flights, accommodations, ground transportation, nourishing meals, expert guides, arrangements for Holy Mass, event reservations, and all the intricacies that transform a pilgrimage into a profound success, we’ve got it covered.

Whether you seek to follow in the footsteps of Our Lord in the Holy Land, trace the legacy of St. Paul in Greece and Rome, honor the memory of St. Pope John Paul II in Poland and Rome, or explore the path of Junipero Serra and the Franciscans who founded the California Missions, we stand ready to curate your ideal pilgrimage experience. A dedicated JMJ staff member will lead the way, ensuring that every moment aligns seamlessly with your spiritual journey.
