Jewel for the Journey

“The memory of the Saints leads us to raise our eyes to Heaven: not to forget the realities of the earth, but to face them with greater courage, with more hope.” - Pope Francis


Get More Out of Your Journey

Socials with the Saints - opportunities to learn from role models of faith and from one another, for fellowship, prayer, and receiving spiritual tools. Our mission is to inspire individuals in their daily pilgrimage by introducing them to companions on the journey, in the Communion of Saints.
