Have you heard the story of how a $5 donation turned into a free pilgrimage to Ireland? Keep reading to hear the details on Relevant Radio pilgrimage winner, wife, and mother of three, Christina Novy. 

During the week of Relevant Radio’s spring pledge drive, callers had the chance to win a pilgrimage to the shrines of Ireland, Scotland and England. No donation was needed to enter, but Christina gave anyway–unaware that her generous donation was entering her into the sweepstakes.  

The announcement was a great surprise to the Novy family, who has a deep connection to Relevant Radio. Christina, her husband Mitchell, and their children Keller, Rosie, and Aidan pray nightly, use the Relevant Radio App, and have been callers on the Family Rosary Across America.

 

Christina’s parents, Mark and Rose Keller, are also devoted Relevant Radio listeners. The Kellers met Father Francis “Rocky” Hoffman, the CEO of Relevant Radio, at the Walk to Mary Pilgrimage a few years ago. This pilgrimage is a 22-mile spiritual journey that ends at the shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Now, Christina and an additional guest will take an international journey to Marian shrines such as Our Lady of Knock in County Mayo, Ireland.

Father Rocky will be joining the adventurous crew of this British Isles spiritual journey organized by Nativity Pilgrimage. The trip will take place Oct. 10-21, 2026, and open spots still remain. To learn more about this pilgrimage where attendees will deepen their faith and gain an unforgettable experience, download the full itinerary. 

To experience the unexpected blessings a pilgrimage can bring about, and to join Fr. Rocky, the Novy Family, and more Catholic community in Ireland, Scotland and England, register here.  

Whether traveling to new countries or in the comfort of your home, join the Family Rosary Across America nightly at 7pm CT to unite in the mission of lifting up the needs of families, communities and the world.
