Animated by the Spiritual Exercises, the Jesuits seek to find God in all things in all that they do.

Q: What does the MAGIS programme entail?
A: The MAGIS programme is anchored by a 4-day experience with other pilgrims, sandwiched by a few days before and after.
Q: Can I skip the MAGIS programme and join you for only the World Youth Day portion?
A: We shall be participating in both MAGIS and World Youth Day together as a group. If you desire another programme combination, there may be other Canadian pilgrimage groups that may offer that which you are looking for.
Q: How does the payment work? Do I need to pay it all at once?
A: We first begin with a down payment to cover the cost of the registration fees and the securing of seats on the flights. The rest of the cost is to be paid in installments.
