Pilgrimage Partner

Job Description

Are you passionate about international travel? Are you well connected with clergy, seminarians, and lay faith formation leaders? Are you looking for an additional income source that includes free international travel? If so, then this position may be a good fit for you!

St. Charles Pilgrimages LLC is seeking to grow its team of experienced and successful Pilgrimage Partners. The right candidate will be an outgoing self-starter with a love for Christ, the Church, and group pilgrimage travel. The ideal candidate will have many contacts with clergy as well as lay and religious Catholic leaders across the nation.

Your Role at St. Charles Pilgrimages LLC:
- Foster relationships with pastors, parish priests, deacons, Catholic schools and nonprofits, Catholic authors and influencers, and lay faith formation staff in an effort to secure viable group pilgrimages that will fill and be successful.
- Work with priests and other Catholic leaders within your circle of influence to encourage them to offer a pilgrimage for their parish, school, or organization.
- Secure a well-connected chaplain, travel dates, and destination for a group pilgrimage.
- Work with our sales team to provide a proposed itinerary for your priest/contact.

You should have:
- A passion for international travel and faith-based tourism.
- The ability to work independently and report to the Pilgrimage Director.
- Extensive contacts with clergy and Catholic leaders across the nation.
- Knowledge of the inner workings of a Catholic parish and the faith-forming value that group pilgrimages have to offer parish communities.
- Ability to form and build relationships with busy priests, deacons, seminarians, and lay faith formation parish staff and volunteers.
- Organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects at once.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

Bonus:
- Direct experience serving in a sales role in the group-travel/pilgrimage field.

What we offer you:
- Uncapped, competitive, commission-based, compensation structure
- Fully remote - work from home
- Flexible work hours - work whenever you want to
- Opportunity to travel the world with the pilgrimage groups that you secure

Note to Applicants:
- This position takes a person who is passionate about sales work. If this is not you, this position will be challenging. We find it is a good fit if a few conditions are met:
-For most people, this position can only be supplementary income, therefore you will want to have a separate full-time day job.
-It will work if you already have many personal priest connections -- a vast network of priest contacts who can fill large travel groups.
-It is sales work - not everyone is comfortable with this role.

To Apply:
Please submit a cover letter, resume, and three professional references to our Pilgrimage Director, jsonnen@stcharlespilgrimages.com. Applications will be considered until the positions are filled.
