The Unintended Pilgrim

The Unintended Pilgrim is a Catholic retreat based upon two years of my Navy deployments overseas which happened to bring me to religiously significant places backed up with an additional two years of research on each location. Except for one location I never planned a pilgrimage, it was all quite unintended. The locations and timeline covered in The Unintended Pilgrim span Biblically: Eden and No

ah, the Egyptian and Babylonian Captivities, Nazareth, Bethlehem, the Flight into Egypt, Capernaum, Jerusalem, and Ephesus. Extra-Biblically there are four sites in Italy: Pozzuoli, Campobasso, Sant’Onofrio, and Montefiascone as well as my experiences with St. The Unintended Pilgrim was designed as a face-to-face retreat and has been adapted as an online presentation as well. Each day of the retreat opens with recitation of the Holy Rosary followed by approximately two hours of presentation and Q&A/discussion before and after an hour break, and a closing prayer. After closing prayer reflection is encouraged as discussion groups or in silent reflection. I'm open to arranging meals if we are meeting at a retreat center and that is something we can discuss while making arrangements. I have no problems expanding our Q&A/discussion time to make sure that I have answered everyone’s questions satisfactorily or if folks just want to talk more about everything. The Unintended Pilgrim is available face-to-face and online regardless of time-zone difference. Call me to make your appointment today, I look forward to our visit together soon!
