How the Boerschinger family keeps Christ at the center of summer vacations

The Boerschinger family integrates faith into their summer travels by selecting patron saints and visiting religious sites. Amberly Boerschinger suggests choosing a patron saint based on specific trip activities to help travelers recognize God's providence. While St. Christopher is the traditional patron for travelers, the family also looks to St. Jude for difficulties like lost luggage or missed flights.

The family incorporates pilgrimage elements into their journeys by seeking out unique faith experiences. For example, when their daughter Clara competes in Oklahoma City, the family visits a church dedicated to Blessed Stanley Rother to participate in prayer walks. They also plan routes that allow them to visit significant religious locations, such as stops in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during drives between Arizona and Wisconsin.
