Our Story

Carrying Forward a Mission Since 1997

In 1997, Robert founded Glory Tours Inc. with a single mission: to make sacred pilgrimage accessible to Catholic communities across the United States. His team worked alongside him through those years of ministry — journeying to the Holy Land, Rome, Lourdes, Fatima, and beyond — united by his conviction that every journey of faith deserves the highest care.

Glory Tours & Pilgrimages is the natural continuation of that work. The same mission, the same dedication, carried forward by the same team Robert built — now a trusted wholesale operator serving Tour Leaders, Parishes, Catholic Schools, and Faith-Based Organizations across the country.

With a 98% satisfaction rate and thousands of pilgrims served, we take pride in being more than a tour company — we are a partner in your ministry.

In Their Own Words

What Our Pilgrims Say

Over 28 years of pilgrimage, we have been blessed with messages of gratitude from the faithful we have accompanied on their journey.

You were chosen by God to bring people closer to Him. We do not think of you as a tour director but as a friend who goes out of his way to make everything smooth and easy and be able to enjoy our journey. It is not only a pilgrimage but also a very educational experience. Thank God for sending you to us.

The Edejer FamilyParish Group

The way you handle tours makes you unique in every way. Your presence, your friendly and loving way in caring for each pilgrim personally, makes every pilgrim who travels with Glory Tours feel not only a traveler and tourist, but part of the Glory Tours community and your family. May God reward you for your thoughtfulness, kindness, generosity and hospitality.

Fr. Auxy PanaresCatholic Parish Priest

God indeed was so good! My experiences enriched and deepened my faith all the more. Thanks for everything — for excellent accommodation, tour guides, and the spiritual depth of the journey. Your presence with us also means so much; we felt we were in safe, good hands. May God continue His abundant blessing and graces on you and your family as well as Glory Tours.

Sr. Helen Sumander, MCSTCatholic Religious Sister

Thank you ever so much for being the blessing that you are! All the time and effort you put into arranging this wonderful trip has blessed us all. Friends were made, families got closer and these things will last forever! The Scriptures have taken on new life and I have seen many changes in the lives of the pilgrims who participated. May God continue to bless you as His tool in gathering His children together!

You also had a wonderful caring staff. I had some anxiety about going to this troubled place, however because of their professionalism and caring attitude we were able to go through without any incident. It shows your leadership!
