About Holy Trails
Our Beliefs
We’ve been married for over 25 years and recently felt called to become more involved in our parish. A beautiful trip to Portugal opened our eyes to the richness of Old World Catholicism, inspiring us to share that experience with others. With more than 10 years of experience organizing travel events, we hope to help fellow American Catholics discover Europe’s sacred sites, strengthen their faith, and embrace the cultural heritage of the Church.
