Youth in Europe is a travel agency that specializes in pilgrimages, wants to help guide American youth on this special journey.

Mario St. Francis, co-director of Youth in Europe says,Our tour guides are young, faithful, living witnesses of the Catholic faith. We call them our pilgrimage guides, more than giving a tour they are there to assist and to reinforce the faith that a diocesan religion director has brought them here for, that their priest or bishop has brought them here for.”
