Pilgrim Quotes from Previous Journeys

Faith-filled and attentive leader

I have taken several trips with Blessed Journeys. All were very special and spiritual, with Carolanne Kilichowski being a very caring, faith-filled and attentive leader. She always has a few surprises on her trips and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying their trip, whether it is here or half way around the world! Travel is a tricky business these days but Blessed Journeys goes the extra mile to fulfill its promises and beyond. I would not hesitate to take a Trip with this wonderful new Travel Company.

The Personal Touch that makes a difference

I love traveling with Carolanne. Whether it is a one day bus trip or an 8 day pilgrimage, she puts her whole self into it. All the details are taken care of from start to finish and she always has a surprise for her pilgrims that is truly inspired by Our Lady. Although all the "business" is taken care of efficiently, her pilgrimage company is more of a ministry than a business. Carolanne cares deeply for each and every pilgrim. She has a compassionate heart and will laugh and cry with her pilgrims. It is the personal touch that makes a difference. I would travel with Carolanne again in a heartbeat!

Medjugorje for the first time

The trip I was on run by Carolanne Kilichowski took me to Medjugorje for the first time. It was a beautiful, moving experience I will always treasure. It was an extremely well-organized, well thought out journey to that beautiful part of the world and each detail was planned by Carolanne expertly. Besides the technical aspects of the trip, she made sure that the spiritual aspect of this pilgrimage was fulfilled as well and was as important as the accomodations were. The housing was more than adequate, the food very good and the people we were involved with during our trip to Medjugorje were wonderful to us. I would recommend Carolanne to anyone looking for a beautiful pilgrimage!

Travel to local and interesting sites

I would never go on a pilgrimage trip with anyone other than Carolanne. When you travel with her, it's like you're the only one on the trip. She always has surprises for her travel guests, always mixes up the days with travel to local interesting sites, Mass and devotions, and shopping expeditions. She gives you an itinerary for the day and then you can do one or two things, do all the things, or none of the things. It's entirely up to you. She is thoughtful and treats all her travel guests like family - she's a mother hen with her chicks!!!
