A Real Pilgrimage - MX
Meet the Team!
Who We Are
Xhonané and Miguel Olivas
Founder & Head Guide
Miguel and Xhonané Olivas married in 1996 and homeschooled their four children in Clarion, Pennsylvania. Since their children grew up and spread their wings, Xhonané has discovered a new call: to guide pilgrims to discover the love of Our Lord through Mexico's greatest spiritual treasure: Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Israel Ramirez
Field Guide and Content Creator
Israel is both Xhonané's cousin and an excellent travel partner. With his knowledge of the city by car and good humor, Israel is on of the greatest facilitators of our smooth sailing pilgrimages. He is the driver during the trip, creator of social media content, and partner with Xhonané to curate the best spiritual experience of holy sites, just to name a few of his contributions to our mission.
Montsy Olivas
Social Media Assistant
Hi there! I am Xhonané and Miguel's third child and was raised with a deep sense of appreciation for my Mexican heritage. While my Mom had the vision for this mission, I help to spread news about the rich gift that is this pilgrimage through social media and web design (like this one!).
I hope you discern whether this trip is for you and if so, I am so excited for you to experience it!
Fr. Peter Crowe
Guest Pilgrimage Chaplain
Meet Father Peter Crowe: The vocations director of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown and pastor of St. Andrew Catholic Church in Johnstown, PA who has generously accepted to be our Pilgrimage Chaplain.
In this special role, Fr. Peter will have the opportunity to concelebrate daily Mass for our pilgrims at various holy sites, including the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
