Support St. Joseph's Pilgrimage to Medjugorje

Title: Help Fund Our Pilgrimage to Medjugorje

Introduction:

Hello! My name is John Costantino, and I am a theology teacher at St. Joseph Academy in St. Augustine, FL. I have been planning and coordinating a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, a site known for its Marian apparitions. This will be a life-changing journey for many of our students, faculty, and their families. However, my hope is that no one in our school community is left behind due to financial reasons.

Why We Need Your Help:

For many of the people joining this pilgrimage, it will be their first time on such a spiritual journey. Some members of our community have never been on a pilgrimage, and others have yet to experience the powerful transformation that true conversion brings. My goal is to ensure that every student, faculty member, and chaperone can join us on this sacred trip—free of charge.

This pilgrimage offers an opportunity for deep spiritual growth, and I firmly believe it will have a lasting impact not only on their faith but the faith of the whole St. Joseph’s community. The transformative power of this journey is something I want to share with all of them, but we need your help to make it possible.

How the Funds Will Be Used:

The funds raised will cover the cost of the pilgrimage for our students, faculty and other chaperones (27 people in total), ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent anyone from participating. Every dollar will go directly toward travel expenses, accommodations, meals, and all the necessary arrangements for the trip.

How You Can Help:

You can make a difference by donating to this cause or by sharing this message with others who may be willing to support our pilgrimage. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact on the success of this trip. If you are unable to donate, spreading the word to your friends and family is just as valuable.

Conclusion:

Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting this life-changing pilgrimage. Your generosity will help to deepen the faith of so many in our school community, and we are incredibly grateful for any support you can offer.

With sincere gratitude,

John Costantino
