About the Film

We are excited to partner with Fathom Entertainment for the U.S. theatrical release of Sacred Heart.

Sacred Heart is a new docudrama that invites you into the heart of Jesus as revealed to a French nun named Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque 350 years ago. Today, the mystery of the Sacred Heart continues to draw men and women from around the world.

In the17th-century, St. Margaret Mary has been hand-picked by Jesus to be His special disciple of His Sacred Heart. Through a series of apparitions at Paray-le-Monial, Jesus reveals His Heart to her. Through the centuries, countless others have been drawn to encounter the transformative power and beauty of the Sacred Heart.

The film intertwines the saint’s story with testimonies of healing and the love of God from priests, nuns, historians, and theologians who share insights about the beauty of Jesus’ message. The film explores the role of the Virgin Mary as the first vessel of Jesus’ Heart and the way the Eucharist connects us to the Sacred Heart’s Divine love. SACRED HEART is an invitation to experience the mystery of this timeless devotion.

Trips to France

Why take a pilgrimage with a group?

Planning a pilgrimage is a logistically demanding undertaking. Many things must be considered, including where to stay, where to eat, and where to get good information about the sites and history along the way. Additionally, you need to prepare physically for the trip, pack properly, and be prepared for the challenges of any multiple-day pilgrimage.

Booking your pilgrimage with a Group Tour Company is an excellent way to reduce the planning and logistics you need to accomplish so you can focus on preparing physically and spiritually for the trip. When traveling with a group, you can lean on like-minded travelers for anything you need during the pilgrimage. If you are directionally challenged or prone to loneliness, a group tour also allows you to rest easy throughout the trip, knowing that you are not alone and you’re heading in the right direction. A group becomes a community and even creates lifelong friendships that last beyond the journey.

 

Accommodations

You’re going to need to rest after all that touring. Don’t leave your stay up to chance. By booking your walking pilgrimage with Select, you can be sure that you will be staying in trusted and well-appointed hotels.

Meals

Food is the fuel for your pilgrimage. When traveling with a group, many meals are included and pre-arranged, so you can arrive for dinner without figuring out where to go. During the day, your guide can point out great spots for a snack, coffee, or lunch, too.

Guides

When you book a pilgrimage with Select International Tours, you will have a professional guide with you every step of the way. They will ensure that you get the most out of every step of your journey.

What are the benefits of a guided pilgrimage?

 

History, Tradition, and Legend

As you can imagine, the sites that house the sacred cloths contain much history and stories. It’s impossible to learn everything about them before you go, and having your head in a book or an app throughout your entire pilgrimage defeats the purpose. Having a professional and experienced guide allows you to gain that knowledge with wide-open eyes. 

Immediate Help During Unforeseen Challenges

No trip overseas is without challenges. When you go anywhere for multiple days, you will encounter obstacles. Having an experienced guide at your disposal means you can rest easily, knowing that you will be cared for, no matter the challenges. 

The Best Accommodations and Curated Experiences

Rather than researching and vetting every hotel yourself, Select will ensure you stay in the best accommodations possible while walking your pilgrimage route. Our knowledge, experience, and reputation will benefit you by providing a quality experience for every stay. Also, having a knowledgeable guide with you will help you see things most people miss while walking and help you find the best places to eat, shop, or visit at every stop.
