About Triumph Pilgrimages

We do not provide “tours.”
We conduct pilgrimages.

Since 1989, we have led pilgrims to respond to Our Lady’s invitation to return to God.

Pilgrimage

“A journey, especially a long one, made to some sacred place as an act of religious devotion.”

To Jesus through Mary

Triumph Pilgrimages provides truly exceptional service to each of our pilgrims. We do not travel throughout the world. We conduct pilgrimages, mostly to Medjugorje. With Triumph Pilgrimages you will discover how to pray with your heart. You will rediscover, or discover for the first time, the sacred treasures of our Faith and our Church. You will learn why this era has been named the Marian Era and why Our Lady has been coming to earth since the first apparition to St James the Apostle in Zaragoza, Spain.

Travel with us

Our pilgrimages are a time of prayer and abandonment to God’s daily will. Everything that happens on a pilgrimage is permitted by the Lord. He knows our hearts and what will bring us closer to Him. We trust His plan and encourage each other to persevere and relish each moment of our journey together.

Trust

“Everything that happens on a pilgrimage is permitted by the Lord.”

Founder

Debbie Womack

Our group leader, Debbie Womack, is a Secular Franciscan and has led pilgrims to Medjugorje since 1989, even bringing relief during the war years. In January 1986, she experienced her own unique call that set her on fire with love for Our Lady and Medjugorje.

Since then, besides leading these pilgrimages, and by the Grace of God, she has organized Marian Conferences featuring the Medjugorje visionaries, priests and religious, opened a Catholic bookstore in Louisville, KY, helped run a Catholic radio station, and arranged Marian talks and retreats. She spreads true devotion through Total Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and maintains a world-visited Medjugorje Facebook site. She has formed Marian Movement of Priests Cenacles and prayer groups in numerous cities and has traveled extensively as a missionary of Mary, even to the far reaches of Far Eastern Russia. Debbie brings her own inspired spiritual insights to Medjugorje and Our Lady’s messages for us.

Debbie serves on the board of the Mir Medjugorje Center for English-speaking pilgrims, one of only ten people in the world to do so.

After leaving Louisville, Debbie worked and studied at Franciscan University of Steubenville before moving to St. Augustine, FL, where she is the owner of The Blue Mantle, a Catholic shop next to Mission Nombre de Dios and the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche. The Blue Mantle is a Fruit of Medjugorje, the fruit of pilgrimage. Debbie started Triumph Pilgrimages after receiving numerous signs in Medjugorje.
