Follow the footsteps of Rwandan Christian heritage on this enlightening journey to iconic churches, pilgrimage routes, and quiet places of prayer. This is a reflective and educational tour for those seeking deeper faith and historical connection.
Begin with a guided visit to St. Michel Cathedral in Kigali and a walking tour of several significant downtown churches. Learn about the growth of Christianity in Rwanda. In the afternoon, transfer southward to the town of Kibeho, home of Rwanda’s most sacred Marian apparition site.
Spend the full day in Kibeho, attending a healing mass at Our Lady of Sorrows Church. Visit the apparition site and shrine, reflect in the peaceful gardens, and explore personal spiritual questions. Quiet time is offered in the afternoon for journaling, rosary prayer, or silent meditation.
Enjoy a gentle morning rosary walk around the Kibeho compound. On the way back to Kigali, stop at the Butare Catholic Cathedral, one of the country’s oldest churches for final reflection and optional group sharing.
