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 pilgrimages include Ireland, the Holy Land and Eastern Europe. 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

Witnessing the story of the Passion Play in Oberammergau is an amazing and transforming experience. We can trace its history back to 1633, when the people of the small village in Bavaria vowed that if God spared them from the ravages of the bubonic plague they would produce a play every 10 years depicting the life and death of Jesus. The death rate from the plague fell dramatically following the pledge, and the people kept their end of the vow and have produced the play in every year ending in “0” since then.

All of the actors, musicians, and technicians in the play are from the village of Oberammergau. For five months over the summer every 10 years they come together to keep the vow their ancestors made to God, and in turn it has become a worldwide phenomenon for people to attend.

Our trip is all-inclusive (flights, hotels, tickets, guides, meals, etc.) and our 12-day itinerary includes stops in Heidelberg, a cruise on the Rhine River, Lucerne, Switzerland, Innsbruck, Austria, Salzburg, Nuremburg and Munich. We’ll have daily Mass in some beautiful churches along the way, including Schonestatt Monastery dedicated to the Divine Mercy, the Shrine of the Black Madonna, and many others. Please see the brochure and registration form below for all the details. For questions, contact Roxie Goetz at roxie.goetz@ctrcc.com.
