About Parish Pilgrimages
Almost every year members of the parish are invited to go on a pilgrimage to visit a few countries around the world. This week-long trip takes a large group, usually around 50-80 people, to visit places relating to our Catholic faith and Christian heritage. The pastor leads the group along with a professional tour guide who will guide travelers through the areas to make the most of the trip. Previous trips have included the 2022 Oberammergau Passion Play, the 2019 Shrines of Southern Italy, and the 2018 Emerald Isle Pilgrimages. The trip prices are to be paid fully by participants and the trips are all inclusive (airfare, hotels, two meals each day, daily sightseeing, etc.). For more information, contact Roxie Goetz at roxie.goetz@ctrcc.com or call 281-469-5533.

2023 Egypt and Holy Land Pilgrimage: CURRENTLY FULL
CURRENTLY FULL
Our trip to Egypt and the Holy Land is September 4-16, 2023. The price is $4,090 for 13 days and that includes airfare, hotels, guides, two meals per day, and all the experiences.
We’ll fly from Houston via Istanbul to Cairo for three days, seeing the treasures of Tutankhamen, the old city of Cairo, the historic pyramids of Giza (one of the Seven Wonders of the World) and the Sphinx, Memphis, and Sakkara.
From there we make our way to Israel, beginning in Tel Aviv and making our way through the Holy Land. What a spiritual blessing it will be to journey together and walk in the footsteps of our Lord – literally! We will visit, among other places, Caesarea, Mt. Carmel, and Tiberias. We’ll take a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and gaze upon the same mountains as did Jesus. We see the Mount of Beatitudes, Cana (where couples may renew their wedding vows if they wish), Nazareth, Bethlehem, the Mount of Olives, the Church of the Nativity, and, of course, Jerusalem. We will walk the Via Dolorosa, praying the rosary as we make our way to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where we will celebrate Mass at the tomb of our Lord.
Those are just a few of the highlights – see the brochure for all the details. It’s truly the trip of a lifetime and will make the scriptures come alive for you. We’ll celebrate Mass daily in some of the most sacred places of our faith. It’s truly a memorable experience. I’ve been three times and I can’t wait to make this trip with you.
We’ve got physical copies of the brochure in the office, if you would like one. Contact Roxie Goetz (roxie.goetz@ctrcc.com) to get on the waiting list.
