In Mary’s Footsteps Across Vietnam 2027
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH — 16 Days
A sacred journey through Vietnam, where faith, culture, nature, and grace come together
In one unforgettable pilgrimage, you will:
- Follow the footsteps of Our Blessed Mother through Vietnam’s most beloved Marian pilgrimage sites
- Pray at La Vang, Ta Pao, Nui Cui, La Ma Ben Tre, and other sacred places of devotion
- Visit Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh, Hue, Da Nang, Mang Den, Buon Ma Thuot, Can Tho, and Saigon
- Attend daily private Mass with the group
- Experience Vietnam’s rich Catholic heritage, natural beauty, local culture, and traditional cuisine
This is a journey of faith:
From the peaceful beauty of Hanoi to the mountain landscapes of Sapa, from the breathtaking waters of Ha Long Bay to the holy grounds of La Vang, Ta Pao, Nui Cui, and La Ma Ben Tre, this pilgrimage invites guests to walk with faith, prayer, and gratitude through the heart of Vietnam. Along the way, each destination becomes more than a place to visit—it becomes a moment of reflection, a step closer to Our Blessed Mother, and a reminder of God’s grace in both sacred sites and everyday life.
A pilgrimage for those who seek prayer, renewal, cultural beauty, and memories that stay with the soul.
