All or Nothing: Ecuador Mission Pilgrimage 2026
Save the Dates: 8th – 22nd August 2026
“Alone, I can do nothing, but with God, I can do everything.” — Sister Clare Crockett
About the Pilgrimage
The Heart of the Mission: Guayaquil
The Mission Experience – Ten years ago, in the city of Guayaquil, Sister Clare gave her final “All” to God. As featured in the movie All or Nothing, this city is where her missionary heart truly shined. We hope to walk those same streets, serving in soup kitchens, visiting the sick with the Sisters, and providing spiritual and material aid to families through the Home of the Mother missionary projects.
A Sacred Connection: Our Lady of Good Event
A Sacred Connection – Our pilgrimage also takes us to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Event in Quito. This visit holds a deep, “serendipitous” connection for those from Sister Clare’s home: a statue of Our Lady of Good Event has stood atop the Longtower Church in Derry for many years, overlooking the very streets where Clare grew up. We will honor this link between Ireland and Ecuador, seeking Our Lady’s intercession for the mission and for our own spiritual lives.
