This pilgrimage is more than a journey—it is a retreat centered on the mystical visions and enduring spiritual legacy of St. Bridget of Sweden, one of the Church’s greatest yet often overlooked mystics. Wife, mother, religious founder, and co-patroness of Europe, St. Bridget received extraordinary revelations that profoundly influenced Catholic spirituality, sacred art, and devotion to the Passion of Christ. During our five-day retreat on the private island of Badija, Fr. Stash Dailey will lead daily conferences exploring her remarkable life, her mystical writings, and her courageous role in the renewal of the Church during one of its most turbulent periods.

As we pilgrimage through the spiritual byways of Italy, walking on time-worn cobblestones in ancient cities and traveling across highways that wind through breathtaking countryside, we will encounter truly unique places and people—living expressions of our 2,000-year-old faith. From the ancient rooms where St. Peter lived for seven years to the bishop’s residence in Assisi, from the sacred grotto of St. Michael the Archangel to the Benedictine monastery of Norcia, each stop brings us closer to the “living stones” of our Church.

Join Inside the Vatican Pilgrimages on a unique pilgrimage through England, where the stories of saints, monks, scholars, and brewers intertwine. From the royal town of Windsor and the academic halls of Oxford to the ancient pilgrimage shrine of Walsingham and the heart of London, we will explore England’s rich Catholic heritage while experiencing the monastic and brewing traditions that helped shape European culture.

Inside the Vatican Pilgrimages are different from all other tours and pilgrimages. We craft a daily itinerary which creates a fabric woven of spiritual, historical and personal elements – the personalities of great saints, the personalities of those we encounter and the personalities of our pilgrims with everything they bring from their lives and their faith journeys. Our pilgrimages, therefore, are unique, unrepeatable experiences. Our pilgrimages are impossible to mass produce. They are like a product of an artisan, a work of art that reflects the painstaking commitment of an artist to create something of great and unique beauty.

As Christians, we are convinced of God’s power to intervene in human life. Indeed, He has shed His gentle grace in the lives of all believers, sometimes with breathtaking results. And yet, our merciful Lord has also seen fit to give us His guidance in extraordinary ways too….and some of them have been left visible as a testament for generations. In Christian Europe, there are many miracles which endure today…from miracles of the Blessed Eucharist which have stood for centuries, to the testimony of saints and converted sinners who have become beacons of God’s love and concern for us pilgrims on our earthly journey.
