EXPLORING FAITH, ONE STEP AT A TIME
WHAT WE DO
Why a pilgrimage?
More than a vacation or trip, a pilgrimage answers an invitation from Jesus Himself to “come and see.” A pilgrimage offers a sacred opportunity for us to disconnect for a time from our daily lives and routines, and to connect with God, our fellow pilgrims, and the incredible places where God visits His people.
WHO GUIDES OUR STEPS
Our guides
The guide is the key to a successful pilgrimage, the instrument through which the places we visit come to life. We work with the best qualified, English speaking Christian tour guides available. They share with us their faith and their knowledge, while managing our daily schedules and activities, assisting us in our needs, and becoming treasured friends along the way
WHERE WE GO
Our itineraries
Our custom itineraries offer something for everyone. We see places you want to see and do the things you came to do. We include opportunities to meet the people, experience the culture, and enjoy the cuisine of the places we visit through prayer, encounter, dining, and social interaction. We experience the foods, drinks, and entertainment of the places we visit — and have fun along the way! We stay at 4* or higher rated hotels and give preference in our planning to establishments, vendors, and suppliers that share our faith and values. Each day we include Holy Mass, prayer, and Spirit-filled discussions, with opportunities to celebrate the sacraments and other moments of reflection.
WHO WE ARE
About us
Nestled in the farming region of “upstate” Pennsylvania, Cloverdale Farms operated for years as a family enterprise, feeding local people with homegrown food through a personal commitment to excellence and dedicated hard work. Today, that same family continues this legacy by offering faith-based pilgrimages to religious sites to feed our souls and nourish our faith — always with the same hard work and commitment to excellence!

WORDS FROM THOSE WHO WALKED WITH US

“My first pilgrimage (and first time in Europe) was with Father Navit. He always goes above and beyond to see that we have the best experience. At the end of a busy day touring, it's always nice to sit with him and other pilgrims, have a cocktail, and talk about our adventures as we get to know one another. I've gone on 4 more pilgrimages with Father Navit since then — and am getting ready for my 6th with him in a few weeks to Ireland!”

"Traveling with Father Navit has created some of my best memories and gave me the chance to see and experience parts of the world I never would have understood without his endeavors. Not only did we stay in luxurious and comfortable places, but we got to see how people live and worship the Lord all around the world including Italy, Israel, Spain, Portugal, and France -- all while having a great time!"

"Father Navit's tours offer a full experience, refreshing for both body and soul. Our Oberammergau pilgrimage brought us in community with fellow Catholics where we shared the awe of the renowned Passion Play, the beauty of a Danube River Cruise, and the truth and love contained in receipt of daily Eucharist at Mass in a a number of historically significant churches and cathedrals. And, yes, many delicious meals shared with newly met sisters and brothers. Who could ask for anything more?"

"My Mom and I had such an amazing adventure with Father Navit traveling through Milan, Tuscany, Venice, Orvieto, Florence, and Rome. Explored basilicas and cathedrals that were outstanding to experience. And Father Navit managed to fill our adventure through fabulous tours that you will never forget. Best experience of all was shopping at the Hard Rock Cafe with the Pope!"

"During the fall of 2019 we spent our 25th wedding anniversary with Father Navit in Italy. It was an amazing trip. He went out of his way to acknowledge our special day, ensured that we were able to attend daily Mass, and showed us places most only dream about. We made new friends and look forward to new travels with him as our guide."
