Greetings from Penang, Malaysia!
From this little corner of South East Asia, we are in the midst of finalising our pilgrimage to Eastern Europe. Travelling to Frankfurt, Germany, our faith journey begins as we touch down and coach to our first destination, Prague, where we will visit the renowned Church of Our Lady Victorious, which houses the Infant Jesus of Prague. We will also visit historical sites of old Prague as well as the Castle area which houses St Vitus Cathedral.
Our journey will then take us to Czestohowa to Poland's Black Madonna, after which we will cross to Auswich concentration camp where St Maximillian was martyred, and onto Krakow, Poland where we retrace the footsteps of the late Pope John Paul II, culminating in celebrating the Holy Hour with the nuns of St Faustina's Convent, at the Basilica of Divine Mercy.
We will also visit Budapest and Hungary's patron saint's holy hand - St Stephen's Cathedral and the Chapel of the Holy Right Hand, and then onto Croatia to Ludbreg, where the Eucharistic Miracle of the Wine turning into the blood of Christ.
