I registered for a pilgrimage with Verso! What is the timeline from here?

We are so excited that you have discerned to join a pilgrimage with us! Below is a general timeline for what to expect in preparation for your pilgrimage:

Emails: You will receive a series of emails to help you prepare for your trip. As you get closer to your departure, these emails will include resources to help you delve deeper into preparation, including some videos, information about the sights you will see, and even a self-guided “e-retreat” to help you spiritually prepare.

Spiritual Formation: As part of your preparation, you’ll want to think about spiritually preparing for your trip, too! Start praying and simply asking God to help you be open to what he wants you to experience on this journey. Maybe you pick a saint to start praying to each day or incorporate a new prayer or ritual into the days leading up to the trip. We’re here to help you, too!

Complete Traveler Tasks: Your Pilgrim Portal link should have been sent to you after your registration. If you cannot find the email, you can log in [here](link) using the email you registered with. There is a 'Tasks' section in your portal with various tasks that need to be completed (accepting terms & conditions, uploading passport information, etc.). All of these have varying deadlines, but most need to be completed at least 120 days before your departure.

Complete Final Payment: If you did not pay the full amount for your pilgrimage when you registered, all final payments are due 120 days before departure. You can make payments through your Pilgrim Portal, or you can write a check to Verso Ministries for your payments. All checks should be sent to: P.O. Box 986, Notre Dame, IN 46556.

Attend the Pack and Prep Meeting: About 6 weeks before your pilgrimage departure, there will be a virtual Pack and Prep meeting hosted by Verso Ministries. In this meeting, we will discuss your itinerary, trip logistics, how to pack, and how to spiritually prepare. There will also be a Q&A session for you to ask any questions you have before the trip's departure.
