Our Story

Curating sacred travel since 1978

Where travel deepens faith.

Since 1978

Journeys that deepen faith

For centuries, pilgrims have crossed lands and seas to understand Sacred Scripture more deeply, to retrace the footsteps of Jesus, to draw near to the lives of the saints, and to stand where miracles and apparitions have inspired the faithful. These journeys have always been more than travel. They are encounters with God, avenues of grace, and a renewal of the human spirit.

TravelTyme Pilgrimages carries on that tradition. We plan personal, carefully prepared Roman Catholic pilgrimages to renowned shrines and sacred places throughout the world — and our first aim is simple: an atmosphere that nurtures your spiritual growth from the first day to the last.

What you can expect

A Priest on Every Journey

A priest travels with every pilgrimage as your spiritual leader, and our staff look after every detail so you can give yourself fully to the experience.

Expert Catholic Guides

We work only with degreed, experienced local Catholic guides. Their knowledge of Church history, theology and archaeology — and their gift for storytelling — brings every holy site to life.

A Journey of Transformation

For nearly five decades we have watched pilgrims come home renewed in spirit, mind and body. Whether this is your first pilgrimage or your tenth, it should change you.

Our Roots

A family tradition

TravelTyme opened its doors in West St. Louis County in 1978. Our founder, John Lang, still remembers writing airline tickets by hand. The tools of travel have changed many times since, and we have kept pace with every one — but the purpose has not changed.

In 2018, George Hudson succeeded his uncle at the helm. His passion is the same one that started it all: that every journey be far more than a tour — a place where pilgrims do not just see holy sites, but truly encounter Christ.
