Welcome To DeaconTravel
At DeaconTravel, we are committed to serving God and the needs of you and your family. As a faith based ministry, we connect seekers with opportunities which will help them grow
in their relationship with God.
Wherever you may be on your spiritual path,
at DeaconTravel you will find a supportive
team with a wealth of opportunities for personal growth.
We aspire to strengthen each person's personal relationship with Jesus Christ - at every point in their life, and encourage
personal and spiritual growth through prayer, Bible study and
active participation in our various ministries. In our ministries
you may journey with us for a few hours, a few days or even a
week or more. As we lead you through different exercises, you
will experience God's presence in a special way. Whether we join
you on a journey during a single evening's presentation - a
weekend experience- or on an actual journey in which we
travel to special places - both local and distant - such as the
Holy Land, Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland or more - we
intend to bring God's presence closer to you than ever before.
On the following pages you will find more information on our ministry team, programs offered and photos from parish
presentations and actual spiritual travel experiences.
DeaconTravel is a ministry of Deacon Dale Metcalfe a Roman Catholic Deacon of the Diocese of Joliet-in Illinois and Chaplain Arlene Metcalfe. Our desire to share the Good News and our love of Jesus and our experience with many forms of journey - empowers us to expand upon our diaconal ordination and chaplain training to travel with you on this awesome journey!
We are NOT a travel agency - our ministry involves prayer experiences, evenings of reflection, weekend retreats and - on occasion - we act as hosts for pilgrimage specialists who arrange travel experiences to foreign places. We offer our services to
all Christians and those seeking to join the Christian community
of believers. As an evangelization ministry we reach out to both churched and unchurched people - Christian or not. We
welcome all! Our ministry is based on the belief that our
seekers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team
is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high
percentage of our participants are from previous journeys
and referrals.
Based in Illinois, we have led spiritual travel both
nationally and internationally. We would welcome the
opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best experience possible as a participant. In addition to hosting
you on one of our travel experiences, we are available for presentations at your church as a single evening or in a
mission format. Please contact us for additional details,
fees and availability. If you or your group are interested in
actual travel experiences we can help you with the
arrangements and if requested - travel with you to your destination. E-mail us for more information
