Well, THAT'S awesome.

An update on our trip to France! 🇫🇷

What if sneak-attack T-Swift album-drop style, I shipped some BIG news your way?

Here it is: The Catholic Feminist Pilgrimage now has a deposit guarantee.

Select International Tours, our amazing travel group, has recently implemented a 90-day deposit guarantee. That means if you cancel before 90 days of the trip, you won’t lose your deposit.

Monsieur COVID still has some people on edge about booking international travel + I get it, but what if I told you…

• Bars, restaurants, and museums are all reopening this month

• The EU has recommended reopening travel from foreign citizens*

• We cut back on our ship capacity so that we’re a little less all crammed together

*Many people are asking me about if there will be a vaccine requirement. Although there will NOT be one from OUR end, there very well *could* be one from France’s end. At the moment, that is uncertain, but we are keeping a close eye on it. The EU has specifically said that that’s their desire.

Are you supposed to just shut up and hit pause on life until that magical *ONE DAY* when you somehow win the lottery, have a job that magically isn’t affected at all if you take off work, or Mary Poppins shows up on your doorstep ready to watch your kids?

No way.

You know how important your spiritual life is, and you know that putting time and resources towards a relationship with Christ is time and resources well spent.

Aaaaand Catholic internet is more crowded than EVER right now. I’m kinda done with virtual stuff—Amen? I don’t want another live-streamed conference. I want to sip some chardonnay in person alongside sisters seeking Jesus + justice.

Simply put:

The Catholic Feminist Pilgrimage will be worth your time.

And, I would know—I’ve been to many a women’s event that, um, fell flat, to say the least. 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s why I invited Catholic thought leaders like Chika Anyanwu, Kathryn Whitaker, Leah Jacobson, and Shannon Ochoa to join us. We aren’t all in the same stage of life, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find joy + wisdom from one another. And these women are on 🔥 for Jesus.

In Him Through Her,
