June 21–July 1, 2026 ‒ A transformative journey benefitting the Bridgettine Sisters, Columbus, Ohio
Have you ever felt the pull of something deeper — a longing for spiritual renewal, profound peace, and an encounter with God that transforms both heart and life? This June, we invite you to join a truly once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage that blends prayer, reflection, and sacred Catholic tradition: Mystical Visions — A Private Island Retreat & Medjugorje with Fr. Stash Dailey. (Inside The Vatican Pilgrimages)
A Journey Rooted in Prayer and Purpose
This special pilgrimage brings together sacred destinations and spiritual enrichment — from the serene shores of a private retreat island in Croatia to the deeply prayerful village of Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, renowned worldwide as a place of Marian devotion.

Led by Fr. Stash Dailey, a priest known for his reverent celebration of the Eucharist and devotion to prayer, this journey is designed to deepen your relationship with Christ and Our Lady. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity for daily Mass, guided reflections, fellowship with fellow pilgrims, and meaningful encounters with God’s grace. (Inside The Vatican Pilgrimages)

I’m grateful every day for the ways the Lord leads — sometimes quietly, sometimes in surprising, joy-filled moments.
Attending SEEK 2026 was a gift. As a former Buckeye Catholic at The Ohio State University, I ran into so many familiar faces — friends who are now in religious life, in seminary, serving as SPO missionaries, and joyfully active in their parishes.
What a beautiful reminder that God is still calling… and people are still saying yes.
I’ve been a Bridgettine Sister for two years now, and I am so thankful for the formation, friendships, and prayer community that helped me listen to God’s voice during my time at OSU.
Thank you, Buckeye Catholic, for the way you accompany students, encourage courageous faith, and foster vocations that continue to bless the Church.
Please keep praying for college students — that all may seek Jesus, trust His plans, and follow wherever He leads. St. Bridget, pray for us!
