- Thank you for visiting Mater Dei Tours. It is our mission to help bring souls closer to God by providing Catholic Pilgrimages to some of the world's most memorable and faith-inspiring sites.
- Our official pilgrimages are accompanied by a Catholic Priest and our experienced Tour Escorts. A spiritual program consisting daily Mass, daily Rosary, Chaplet of Divine Mercy, Meditations and the Sacrament of Reconciliation compliment every pilgrimage. Although we are very authentic about our pilgrimages, Mater Dei also likes to combine history, culture and lots of fun with every tour as well.
- You may also view our testimonials, find out more about us and register for “The Pilgrim’s Way,” our newsletter (on the right column). And don't forget, Mater Dei specializes in providing parishes, choirs and private groups with their own custom spiritual journey to virtually any Vatican approved pilgrimage site.

SHRINES OF FRANCE
Join Mater Dei ® and its affiliate, True Catholic Pilgrimages, on an amazing and beautiful pilgrimage through some of France's most beautiful shrines! This pilgrimage features several special visits like Lisieux, home of St. Therese of Lisieux. The pilgrims will also visit important sites of historical and cultural interest like Omaha Beach, the most dangerous D-Day invasion landing area where many brave Americans lost their lives in defense of liberty, and the liberation of France and most of the rest of Europe. Visit the American Cemetery to pay our respects and pray for the souls of these American "martyrs for freedom".

Travel to Nevers to witness one of the most beautiful "incorruptibles", St. Bernadette, the peasant girl that conversed with The Immaculate Conception! Pray at the site where Jesus of the Sacred Heart appeared and spoke to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, in Paray Le Monial, also the site of her tomb. See the rectory of the Patron Saint of Parish Priests, St. John Vianney, and pray at the parish church where his incorrupt remains are entombed in a glass coffin. The travel to the famous Marian Shrine of Lourdes, where we learn about the apparitions of the Immaculate Conception to St. Bernadette, and walk the "Lourdes of Bernadette".

Please pray for all the innocent victims in Israel and Palestine. Please pray for the Christian community (which is mostly of Palestinian origin), caught in the middle of all this turmoil, especially those trapped in Gaza with nowhere to go. Please pray for our Holy Land staff and their families there. All are well so far! THANK YOU!
New trips will be announced as soon as possible. Remember. Mater Dei ® pilgrimages are True Catholic Pilgrimages like no other! They are worth the wait!
