Creatio

In an age marked by distraction, fragmentation, and spiritual fatigue, young adults are searching for meaning and struggling to hear the voice of God. 

Many do not know how to pray. 

Many have never experienced authentic Christian community. 

And many have never connected the beauty of creation with the majesty of its Creator.

Creatio responds to this crisis with a simple but powerful approach: encounter, beauty, and relationship.

"The experience was one of the greatest and most influential times of my life." — Craig, a pilgrim

We do this through walking pilgrimage.

We train young Catholic missionaries to guide others on pilgrimage, outdoor adventure, and mission experiences that awaken the heart to God. These are not trips. They are structured encounters with beauty, silence, sacrifice, and relationship -- designed to restore the most fundamental relationships:

• With oneself

• With others

• With creation

• With the Creator

Under the leadership of Father John Nepil, our formation helps missionaries cultivate virtue, prayer, and a habit of accompaniment. Every experience is crafted to help participants anchor themselves in Christ.

"Creatio taught me not only how to be a missionary and outdoor guide, but that evangelization begins with the beauty of the human person. The most beautiful thing is a heart totally devoted to God." — Nathan, a Missionary Guide
