 Mexico City Immersion 

Pilgrimage / Mission Immersion to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico City

August 11-21, 2025

Embark on a transformative adventure to Mexico City, where our pilgrimage takes us to the renowned Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a globally cherished religious site. Immerse yourself in the historical tapestry of Mexico City, unraveling the intricate connection between faith and culture in the vibrant peoples of Latin America. Our itinerary includes a visit to the Missionaries of Guadalupe, a missionary society based in Mexico City, founded in 1949 with the assistance of Maryknoll Missionary Bishop Alonso Manuel Escalante. Committed to global foreign missions, we'll engage in meaningful encounters and build relationships with individuals, families, and communities including those in Zimapan, Hidalgo—an indigenous enclave outside Mexico City. Join us for a mission trip that seamlessly weaves spirituality, cultural exploration, and community connections.

On this immersion trip to Mexico City, we will visit:

  • Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe
  • Missionaries of Guadalupe Seminary (Spanish: Misioneros de Guadalupe) 
  • Historic Center of Mexico City and Teotihuacan (Mexican Archeological sites)
  • Zimapan, Hidalgo, one of the Indigenous communities outside Mexico City

About Maryknoll Immersion Trips
Maryknoll immersion trips are a ministry designed to foster missionary discipleship. Read more about our trips on our website. Participants are selected based on the potential impact the trip may have on their faith journey. Trip costs are calculated based on the expected number of participants, with each individual asked to contribute at least their share. Contributions beyond the required amount are appreciated, as they support others in participating in future trips. These contributions may be tax-deductible; donors should consult their financial and legal advisors for guidance.

Financial Assistance and Fundraising
For participants unable to afford their share, fundraising with family, friends, and community members is encouraged. If fundraising does not fully cover the cost, financial assistance may be available through Maryknoll by submitting a subsidy request form.

After registering, a trip leader will contact you to ensure the trip is a good fit. Upon acceptance by Maryknoll, participants must complete the Risk Awareness and Travel Agreement, which includes essential details and important information.
