Land of
Enchantment
mountains, high desert climate and perpetual blue skies,
has long captivated the imaginations of explorers,
pilgrims and travelers from around the world. Santa Fe
has three distinct cultures – Native American, Spanish
and Anglo – and the experience is unparalleled.
However, there’s a fourth culture that many overlook:

New Mexico. Santa Fe has Catholic roots that are older
than Jamestown or Plymouth Rock. Its Spanish Missions
are 170 years older than the missions of California. This
program was designed for you to experience a truly
unique Catholic pilgrimage that is blessed Spanish
Catholic traditions, Native American traditions, pueblo
architecture, art galleries, stories of the supernatural,
and some of the most breathtaking scenic views this
side of heaven.
