Maria Tregre began taking pilgrims to holy places in 1995 for her church parish in Lafayette, LA. The first pilgrimage was profound and a deeply spiritual experience for everyone who traveled so her pastor asked her to plan and lead another. Then another. And another.
The fruits of these journeys were clear and actively manifested themselves within the parish and community at large. Individuals’ personal, family, and spiritual lives were enriched. Pilgrims were more engaged with their parish communities and had an energized zeal for living their lives for Christ.
Soon, Maria began to feel called to facilitate spiritual journeys full-time. After some prayer and discernment, Magnificat Travel was founded and began Taking Pilgrims to Holy Places in 2001.
Since then, Magnificat Travel has organized and led thousands of pilgrims and missionaries throughout the United States and to over 20 countries. God continues to bless the organization as it grows.
