Pilgrimage Cruise
Join Courage Under Fire™ for our first pilgrimage cruise. Set sail with us from Paris, France, on the AMA Lyra.
September 1st-9th, 2027.
Space is limited. Join Matt Walsh, Fr. Dan Rehill, Liz Lez, and more courageous leaders for a cruise down the Seine River, visiting Catholic locations and the historical Normandy battlefield. Each morning, attend Mass before starting the day's planned excursions. Rendezvous back on the ship for cocktails, dinner, and entertainment. Each night will be presented by one of our headlining sponsors, a motivational talk by guest speaker, and entertained by our incredible musician.
All donations and money raised on the pilgrimage will be donated back through grants to educational organizations and student scholarships, ensuring a strong Christian education for the next generation of leaders. Let us lead by example and come alongside exemplary education organizations and students. Our goal is to give one million dollars to Christian educational organizations and Christian educational scholarships for students in financial need across the United States. The financial backing will create the next generation of leaders to Go Forward, Boldly! Every dollar helps ensure we take back the culture through solid Christian education. Grants and scholarships will be awarded within 30 days of event.
