Planning a Group Pilgrimage 

If you are planning a group pilgrimage, after reviewing this information, please contact us to confirm your desired pilgrimage date and other plans. In this way, we can ensure your group can be properly accommodated. You will also need to coordinate other details (such as lodging, transportation, activities, and meals) with our Pilgrimage Department.  

In order to maintain a set schedule and to make the most of your pilgrimage to EWTN and the Shrine, we ask that any further sightseeing be planned either before or after your visit with us.

 Planning an Individual Pilgrimage 

The Eternal Word Television Network and the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament offer several scheduled activities to visitors each day. While only groups of 10 or more may schedule extra events in advance, individual pilgrims are always welcome to join any scheduled activities. Come and spend time with our Lord!

Schedule of EWTN Activities (All times Central Time Zone) 

Activities at EWTN are intended to instruct pilgrims in the Faith. Times of Catechesis are combined with times of prayer to provide a greater understanding of the ageless truths of the Catholic Church.
