Journey to Philippi & Thessaloniki

Gold leaf banner_edited.jpg

Follow the Mission of St Paul

Join us on a pilgrimage to two key cities where Saint Paul spread the message of Christ and established some of the earliest Christian communities.

 

In Philippi, we visit the site of Paul’s first European conversion, where he baptised Lydia and preached to the early Christians, leaving behind a legacy of faith that echoes in his powerful letter to the Philippians.

​

In Thessaloniki, we explore the vibrant city where Paul spent several months, sharing the Gospel and founding a thriving church. We’ll reflect on his letters to the Thessalonians, which offer encouragement in times of trial and hope in Christ’s return.

​

This pilgrimage invites us to walk where Saint Paul walked, immersing ourselves in the life and teachings of one of Christianity’s greatest missionaries, and deepening our own faith in the Gospel he shared.
