5.0 out of 5 stars It is an excellent guide to a pilgrimage!, April 16, 1999
By A Customer
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who plans on going for a pilgrimage to Western Europe. It contains a wealth of information to the well-known shrines and even to the ones you've not even heard of before. The prayers included in this book will greatly help one's pilgrimage be a grace and faith-filled one. This book likewise will be very helpful even to pilgrims who can not make the actual trip. I was at the different shrines in Europe not too long ago and I wish I had this book at at that time. Now that I have the book and opportunity is offering itself again, I am sure it will be very helpful. Kudos to you Kevin. Please write some more books similar to this, particularly on your pilgrimages to North America. It will surely be as helpful as THE CATHOLIC SHRINES IN WESTERN EUROPE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for a Semester in Europe, November 19, 2004
By MB (Springfield, MA) - See all my reviews
I spent two semesters in Europe and this book was immensely helpful in deciding which pilgrimage sights to go to and then finding them! I love the little maps that are shown for the various shrines. At Franciscan University's campus in Austria, this book in particular is very popular, because it tells about the history of the place and how to find it. If you know a Catholic who is going to Europe and wants to visit shrines, then I highly recommend this book.
