Our Story & Ministry
About The Divine Destinations
A small Catholic pilgrimage ministry rooted in Ames, Iowa, walking with pilgrims to the world's sacred sanctuaries.
"This isn’t just a business—
it’s a vocation."
Serving the Church through the gift of travel
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.
Guided by Faith
Daily Mass, holy rosaries, and ample time for private adoration and sacrament.
Crafted with Care
Intimate groups (8–20 pilgrims) allowing personal attention for every soul.
Encounter Christ
Holy shrines where miracles occurred and faith is rekindled with joy.
