Bishop Frank Caggiano
Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress
Chris & Molly McMahonStand before the tilma of St. Juan Diego, the miraculous image that converted a continent, and walk the hill where the Blessed Mother appeared in 1531.
Then meet the joy: more than 3,000 girls at the Sisters of Mary Girlstown in Chalco, rescued from the poorest circumstances and now radiant with the life of Christ. You will not return the same.
And you won't walk it alone. Bishop Frank Caggiano and Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P., lead every step, with daily Mass, teaching, and spiritual direction, the whole way.
Not included: Airfare (this package is land-only), travel insurance (encouraged), gratuities, and personal expenses.
The Sisters of Mary rescue the poorest children from the most desperate circumstances and raise them in a loving family — with education, faith, and hope. At Girlstown in Chalco, more than 3,000 girls will welcome you with sunflowers and song.
You won't go alone. You'll walk with a bishop, a Dominican friar, and the couple who made this possible.

Experience the Joy.
Experiencing the joy, the devotion, and the enthusiasm for their Catholic Faith of more than 3,200 girls who come from extreme economic poverty is like being transported to the early Church described in the Acts of the Apostles.
Truly a piece of Heaven!
You see and learn about the miraculous Tilma that converted millions to the Catholic faith, and then you see the ongoing, remarkable fruits at the Sisters of Mary. Truly a little piece of Heaven!
I have seen God's infinite light and love.
Visiting Girlstown in Chalco gave me so much insight into God's love for each of His children, and for me. In seeing their joy, I have seen God's infinite light and love.
