TIPS TO ORGANISE YOUR GROUP PILGRIMAGE
Our travel experts have been organising pilgrimages for groups such as parishes, charities and organisations for many decades, we share their top tips to help you organise your group pilgrimage.
These are some of the most important things to consider by group leaders:
- CHOOSING A PILGRIMAGE DESTINATION
From the Marian shrines of Lourdes and Fatima to the Holy Land or the Camino de Santiago, our team can help you find the right pilgrimage destination for your group.
We have great ideas and suggestions for your group pilgrimage and our experienced travel team is here to help you start planning.
- PLAN IN ADVANCE
This is important particularly if you would like to travel during important dates such as Easter, feast days and religious festivals.
Our team will advise you on the best time to travel to each of the pilgrimage destinations.
In addition to dates, consider also your group size and if your group will be travelling together from the same airport or if you will need flights organised for pilgrims to join the group from other countries.
- ACTIVITIES FOR THE GROUP
Our pilgrimage tours include a detailed spiritual schedule with masses and special ceremonies. It is worth considering additional activities that might be required for the group such as social evenings, sightseeing tours or special visits in addition to the spiritual schedule.
- PREPARATION
Does your group pilgrimage require any additional preparation? For instance, if you are planning a few days walking the Camino de Santiago, you might need to advise group members to do some walking in advance.
Depending on the fitness levels and difficulty of the trail, you might consider a support bus or an easier itinerary.
- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Consider important special requirements for your group, such as mobility related requests that will need to be taken into account by airlines and hotels and dietary requirements.
