Join Heather, Jake and Fr. Dave Pivonka on an inspiring journey through Alaska, a haven of God’s breathtaking creation. Immerse yourself in an experience where the grandeur of nature beautifully harmonizes with our cherished Catholic practices.   

Our pilgrimage begins with an exhilarating voyage aboard the Princess Cruise, where we’ll celebrate the Holy Mass, setting a tone of gratitude and devotion. As we journey through the vast Alaskan waters, we’ll be enveloped by the serenity of fjords and the lush green islands, reminding us of God’s immeasurable wonders. In Juneau, not only will we be met with unparalleled glacier views, but we’ll also pray at the National Shrine of St. Therese of Lisieux, the patron saint of Alaska. Here, our faith will be deepened as we come together in prayer and reflection. The rich history of places like Skagway beckons, where tales of gold seekers from yesteryears echo, and the charm of the boardwalk transports you back in time. As we sail towards Glacier Bay National Park, a United Nations World Heritage Site, we are met with a vast expanse of natural wonders. Majestic tidewater glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and an abundance of birds and wildlife will be our companions as we celebrate another Holy Mass amidst this natural cathedral.  

Our voyage is as much about internal reflection as it is about external exploration. Ketchikan’s indigenous roots and its title as the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’ offers a blend of cultural immersion and tantalizing fresh seafood. As our pilgrimage draws to an end with a farewell dinner on the cruise, our hearts and souls will be filled with gratitude, having witnessed the marvels of God’s creation and having deepened our faith in His majesty. Come, be a part of this transcendent journey, where every moment is a testament to God’s magnificent handiwork and our unwavering Catholic faith.
