Pilgrimage to Poland
Pilgrimage honoring the Life & Legacy of Saint John Paul II with the Diocese of Marquette
Led by Fr. Corey Litzner, with Tour Hosts Deacon Steve and Jackie Gretzinger
October 14-23, 2025
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to invite you to join us on this wonderful journey to places of prayer and religious history through Poland. While every pilgrimage brings the opportunity for its share of graces, traveling the road together makes such journeys even more enjoyable. We will entrust our time together to the maternal protection of our dear Lady of Częstochowa, in imitation of the great Saint John Paul II. We will also have an opportunity to reflect on lives of heroic holiness in Polish saints such as St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. Faustina.
Our itinerary will bring us to many places important to the life of St. Pope John Paul II. We’ll visit Krakow, where Fr. Karol Wojtyla began his life as a priest and offered his first Mass. In Zakopane, we’ll explore the beautiful Tatra Mountains, where St. John Paul II spent time as a hiker, skier, and priest with youth trips. Our pilgrimage will take us to Częstochowa’s Jasna Góra Monastery and the Chapel of the miraculous icon of the Black Madonna, as well as the former concentration camp of Auschwitz, the site of martyrdom for St. Maximilian Kolbe. Celebrate Mass at the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in Wadowice, where Karol Wojtyla was baptized, and visit the Divine Mercy Shrine, dedicated by St. John Paul II during his last visit to Poland. Our pilgrimage promises to be a journey of great graces, great camaraderie, and great memories! We look forward to being with you for this wonderful pilgrimage.
Fr. Corey Litzner, Deacon Steve and Jackie Gretzinger
