The Divine Destinations
Where travel meets faith—Catholic pilgrimages designed with purpose and care.
About Us
The Divine Destinations was born from a heartfelt mission to serve the Catholic Church through the gift of travel. As a Catholic and former travel agent, I began organizing pilgrimages for my parish, friends, and family—what started as a personal calling quickly grew into a full-time ministry. Today, The Divine Destinations offers thoughtfully planned Catholic pilgrimages to sacred sites like Međugorje, Rome, and the Camino de Santiago. Every journey is guided by faith, crafted with care, and rooted in a deep desire to help others encounter Christ through travel. This isn’t just a business—it’s a vocation.
