What Past Pilgrims Say

Marian

Pilgrim in 2025

Peace be with you! This is my first time on a pilgrimage and the experience has been a positive one. I am grateful and appreciative of the work put in by the organisers to coordinate all the arrangements from travel, to food and accommodation. Thank you for the good work as I know it’s not an easy task.

Realised that it’s not exactly easy to navigate the walking route independently (since I am not a fit fiddle) so am glad I got to do this with Prayerful Path. Mary and Katie were great guides. They are adaptable, sensitive to pilgrims’ needs and adapted the day’s plans accordingly. I appreciated being able to stop at significant points and being able to spend some time to savour the place.

Winnie

It was the trip of a lifetime! Mary, Katie and Dawn were wonderful guides who went out of their way to see to our needs. The itinerary was wonderfully planned and executed. We had time for food, fellowship, great hikes, prayer and amazing sightseeing. I am really glad I went on this trip!
