We walk toward Heaven, guided by Mary.

Catholic pilgrimages to the places where faith became history and grace left its mark.

Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.

Some places you visit.

Some places you walk as a pilgrim.

A trip can take you to see a place. A pilgrimage can take you to meet something far deeper. Which is why we do not simply run religious trips: we create experiences of pilgrimage.

I

A pilgrimage begins long before you reach the destination

What Regina Caeli is, and what it means to set out.

Peregrinaciones Regina Caeli is a Catholic work born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, devoted to leading pilgrims to the great places of the Christian faith. We design and accompany experiences that bring together formation, prayer, liturgy, contemplation, culture, beauty and community, so that the pilgrim can come into contact with the living memory of the Church and find in it an invitation to renew their own life.

The destination is on the map. The meaning is in the heart.

To go on pilgrimage is to set out, and Christian life is also a road. We leave our routine. For a few days we leave behind what we know. We walk. We search. We contemplate. We pray. We listen. And we return. But the real question is not only what we saw, it is what God wants to show me.

The journey ends. The pilgrimage continues.
II

With Mary, toward Christ

Where the name comes from, and why we walk with her.

Mary knows about roads. She knew how to hear the voice of God. She knew how to trust. She knew how to set out. She knew how to keep the mysteries in her heart. And she knew how to remain beside Christ.

That is why we walk with her. Not because Mary is the final destination of our pilgrimage, but because she always leads us to her Son. Under her guidance we want to learn to walk in faith, to contemplate deeply, and to return to ordinary life with a renewed heart.

III

Five roads. One direction

The great axes of our pilgrimages.

The Holy Land
The places of Christ.
To walk the places bound up with the life, preaching, Passion, death and Resurrection of Jesus.
Rome and the Vatican
The footsteps of the Apostles and of the Church.
To enter the memory of Peter, Paul, the martyrs and the universal Church.
Marian shrines
Where Mary has walked with the people of God.
To go on pilgrimage to the great Marian shrines and, with Mary, go deeper along the road toward Christ.
Apostolic routes and traditions
The roads of the saints.
To follow the traces of apostles, saints, evangelisers and the great traditions of the Church.
The Eucharist and the Passion
The signs that keep the memory of our faith.
Pilgrimages centred on places bound up with the Eucharist, the Passion of Christ and the relics venerated by the Church.
How we work
A pilgrimage is born when the group is born

We do not work from a fixed calendar of departures. We gather those who want to go on pilgrimage, and once the group forms, the group chooses its destination. We can go anywhere connected with the Catholic faith.

You write to us and tell us where you would like to go on pilgrimage.
We gather the interest of those looking for a similar road.
The group forms and the destination is set.
We design the road: itinerary, formation, prayer and logistics.
We set out.

If you carry a destination in your heart, write to us. It may be the beginning of a group.

IV

We do not only take you. We accompany you

A Regina Caeli pilgrimage begins before you board a plane.

Before
Prepare the heart.
Learn the destination
Understand its meaning
Prepare your intention
Dispose the heart
During
Live the road.
Formation
Prayer
Liturgy
Contemplation
Culture
Community
After
Take the road home.
Remember
Give thanks
Discern
Commit
Bear witness

Because coming home is also part of the pilgrimage.

Prepare
Dispose the heart.
Walk
Leave comfort behind.
Learn
Understand the history and the faith.
Contemplate
Move from the fact to the mystery.
Celebrate
Live the faith.
Convert
Ask what God wants to transform.
Return
Come home to live and bear witness to what was received.
V

We do not add spirituality to a trip. We design the journey from its spiritual meaning

What makes Regina Caeli different.

Depth
We do not only show you places. We help you understand what they mean.
Formation
History, tradition, art, Church and faith are part of the experience.
Prayer
The outward road should open space for the inward one.
Liturgy
Where pastoral conditions allow, the celebration of the faith holds a central place.
Beauty
Architecture, art, music, landscape and tradition can become doors into contemplation.
Community
To go on pilgrimage also means sharing the road with others.
Care
Planning, itinerary, timing, accompaniment, communication and attention. Logistics should not compete with the spiritual experience: they should serve it.
We also go on pilgrimage together.

We walk. We talk. We share a table. We laugh. We wait. We help. We get tired. We discover. We pray. And little by little, those who began as strangers can become companions on the road. A pilgrimage does not only take you to a place: it can take you to an encounter with others.

VI

Perhaps this pilgrimage is for you

We are not looking for tourists. We are looking for pilgrims.

For those going deeper
Not only to know more, but to live their faith more deeply.
For married couples
A shared road can become an opportunity for renewal.
For families
To build together a spiritual memory that can stay with children for the rest of their lives.
For young people
To discover the Church, its history, its saints and the greatness of the faith.
For parishes and communities
To walk together and strengthen the bonds of faith.
For those still searching
Sometimes the road toward God begins simply by taking a first step.
Some journeys are remembered. And some journeys are handed down.

A photograph can hold on to a moment. A pilgrimage can become part of a family's history: the place where they prayed together, the Mass they lived, the saint whose story they discovered, the road they walked, the conversation they had, the faith they shared. Because some experiences do not only create memories: they create spiritual memory.

A pilgrim is someone who sets out carrying a question. It may be a question about God. About their family. About their vocation. About their life. About their future. Or simply: what do you want of me, Lord? Your starting point does not matter. What matters is being willing to walk.

VII

We are not in the business of religious tourism

What we do not promise, and what we do not confuse.

We do not promise:

Supernatural experiences.
Automatic conversions.
Miracles.
Manufactured emotion.

We do not confuse:

Tradition with documented history.
Popular devotion with doctrine.
Beauty with spectacle.
We do not know what God wants to do in each pilgrim. But we can prepare the road.

Regina Caeli prepares, accompanies and disposes. God is the one who acts in each person. Which is why we do not want a pilgrim to come home saying only «what a beautiful trip», but able to say: something in me changed.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most before taking the first step.

Do I need to be a practising Catholic?
Our pilgrimages are born of the Catholic faith and are lived from within it. At the same time, we believe the road can also be an opportunity for someone who is searching, returning, or going deeper in their relationship with God.
How is a pilgrimage formed?
We do not work from a fixed calendar of departures. We gather the interest of those who want to go on pilgrimage and, once the group forms, the group sets its destination. From there we design the itinerary, the formation, the spaces for prayer and all the logistics.
Which destinations can I go to?
Anywhere connected with the Catholic faith. The five great axes — the Holy Land, Rome and the Vatican, Marian shrines, apostolic routes, and places of the Eucharist and the Passion — are our framework, but within them each group decides the specific destination.
Can I propose a destination?
Yes. Write to us and tell us where you would like to go on pilgrimage. Your interest may become the starting point of a group.
Do the pilgrimages include spiritual accompaniment?
Each pilgrimage is designed according to its nature and its destination. Where appropriate, spaces for prayer, liturgical celebration, formation and pastoral accompaniment are built in.
Can I go on pilgrimage with my family?
Yes. The family holds a privileged place in our vision of pilgrimage.
Do you organise private pilgrimages?
We are developing different formats of pilgrimage for individuals, families, parishes and communities. Contact us to find out what is currently available.
