Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe with Queen of the Holy Rosary Wea
Mexico is the place where heaven met the Americas. At Tepeyac, Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to St. Juan Diego, bridging cultures and calling an entire people back to her Son. Each day is centered on the Mass while engaging Mexico’s rich Catholic heritage, sacred history, and living traditions. This pilgrimage invites us not only to deepen our faith, but to encounter one another more fully as one family . Pilgrims should be comfortable walking 10,000–12,000 steps per day on historic terrain.
Itinerary
Arrival to Our Lady of Guadalupe - Feburary 1, 2027
Our pilgrimage begins as we depart Kansas City and make our way to Mexico City, the largest Catholic city in the world. After arrival and welcome by our local guide, we transfer directly to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe — the spiritual heart of the Americas. Here we celebrate Mass in the basilica built at Our Lady’s request through St. Juan Diego. We stand before the miraculous tilma, the image left on Juan Diego’s cloak in 1531, an image that has defied scientific explanation and drawn millions to faith. Time is given for prayer and reflection as we entrust our families, parish, and intentions to Our Lady’s maternal care. L, D provided.
Teotihuacan · Fifth Apparition - February 2, 2027
After breakfast, we journey to Teotihuacan, the ancient “City of the Gods.” As we walk among the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, we encounter the pre-Christian world into which Our Lady would later appear. The contrast between the ancient sacrificial culture and the Gospel message she brought is striking and deeply moving. We enjoy a traditional Mexican lunch before traveling to Ecatepec to visit the home of St. Juan Diego’s uncle, the site of the fifth apparition. It was here that Our Lady offered her tender words of reassurance: “Am I not here, I who am your mother?” We celebrate Mass in this sacred place, reflecting on her message of mercy and closeness. B, L, D provided.
Xochimilco · Villa de las Niñas - February 3, 2027

Music, color, and joy reflect the vibrancy of the Mexican people and the faith that sustains them. In the afternoon, we visit Villa de las Niñas, operated by the Sisters of Mary. This remarkable community educates and forms thousands of young girls from impoverished backgrounds. We share in dinner, pray the Rosary, and celebrate Mass with the girls — often one of the most powerful and unforgettable moments of the pilgrimage. Their joyful faith becomes a witness to the Gospel lived with courage and hope. B, L, D provided.
