Testimonials

This my first time taking a trip with IHS events, and it definitely exceeded my expectations! It was very well organized, both in the months leading up to the trip and during the trip itself. There was a nice mixture of structure and free time. The group meals were also excellent and a nice time to get to know the others on the pilgrimage. Most importantly, it really did feel like a pilgrimage, with morning rosary and Mass each day, with the sites we visited, and with having a priest (Father Trauner) with us and available to hear confession and to give spiritual talks.100% would do it again!

Our first trip to Italy with the IHS team was truly a blessing for our family of seven. Their deep knowledge of the Catholic faith and the sites we visited brought each moment to life in a meaningful and unforgettable way. We especially appreciated their flexibility and genuine openness to our needs. Suggestions were welcomed and thoughtfully incorporated, even as early as the next day. It was a beautiful experience of faith and camaraderie. We are grateful and look forward to traveling with IHS in the future.

The IHS Italy trip was an extraordinary experience for our family. Traveling internationally for the first time with children of various ages could have been overwhelming, but every detail was handled with care, expertise, and purpose.The itinerary was intense and thorough in the best possible way, with full days thoughtfully planned to ensure we made the most of every moment. We experienced far more than we ever could have discovered on our own or found in a guidebook. The depth of knowledge shared throughout the trip brought each site, city, and sacred place to life in a meaningful and memorable way. Having Father with us throughout the pilgrimage, along with daily Holy Mass and conferences, added a deeply spiritual dimension to the entire experience. Ultimately, these moments of prayer, instruction, and reflection made the trip far more than sightseeing and helped unite our family more fully in the Faith. What stood out most was the balance IHS Events maintained. The team was attentive and responsive to the group’s needs and interests while still providing the consistent structure necessary to maximize our time. This was not simply a group of facilitators moving us from place to place. They taught, explained, and provided context that deepened the entire experience. This trip was truly transformative for our family, both spiritually and culturally, and we are deeply grateful to IHS Events for making it possible.
