Are you ready to explore your faith?

The Catholic Traveler is a full-service pilgrimage travel company lovingly and faithfully run by Mountain Butorac.

Since 2005, I have personally designed, organized, and led 143 group pilgrimages for dioceses, parishes, schools, actors, directors, radio show hosts, and writers.

Since 2016, I have led nearly 1,000 private day pilgrimage tours of Catholic Rome.

I am also a published writer, an Instagrammer, a podcaster, a blogger, an iPhone photographer, a YouTuber, a speaker, and several other nouns ending in er.

Don’t let work get in the way of your pilgrimage

My group pilgrimages of Europe and the Holy Land and my private day tours of Rome are designed to take all the burden off of you.

For my travelers…

There’s a reason I have to offer an annual reunion pilgrimage for my previous travelers. Small groups, amazing meals in my favorite restaurants, unlimited drinks with meals, only the best local guides, all tips included, and never any hidden costs.

For my group leaders…

I handle everything. You simply tell me when and where you want to go and I take care of the rest – flights, hotels, ground transportation, Mass reservations, meals, local guides, traveler sign-ups, it’s all included. I also provide you with promotional material, answer all the questions from our travelers, and even offer a virtual Q&A so everyone in our group has a chance to “meet” before they meet. And you can be certain your travelers are in good hands because the same person working with you to plan the trip is the same one with you throughout the pilgrimage.

Upcoming group pilgrimages to Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, and Poland.
