Parish Pilgrimages

What's better than a CtR pilgrimage? How about two CtR pilgrimages? Maybe ...
The results from our end-of-the-year survey showed an overwhelming desire from you all for the Cario, Egypt & the Holy Land pilgrimage. You also indicated a strong preference for a September timeframe. However, there was also a great interest in the Shrines of France pilgrimage as well as for a trip in the traditional June time slot. So given that, I asked Moses to give us two scenarios.

The first would be for the Shrines of France 13-day pilgrimage, departing on June 4 or 5 and returning on June 16 or 17. (Exact dates to be determined with airline availability.) The price would be $4,390, all-inclusive with flights, hotels, guides, transportation, two meals per day, etc. However, to make this trip a reality we must have a minimum of 30 people, and we must have full payment received by March 5 (which would be 90 days before departure). So if this trip is of interest to you, please send an RSVP of interest to Roxie Goetz (roxie.goetz@ctrcc.com). She will start a list of those who wish to make this pilgrimage, and if and/or when we meet our minimum, then we will officially open registration and accept your down payment ($300) or payment in full. We'll keep you posted on our numbers and let you know when registration opens.

Secondly, for the Cairo, Egypt & the Holy Land 13-day pilgrimage, we are looking at a departure on Sept. 4, with a return on either Sept. 16. The price for this trip will be $4,090, and again includes all flights, hotels, guides, transportation, two meals per day, etc. For this trip, we have no minimum number that we need to make, but I suspect it will be very popular. We will open registration for it on Feb. 13 at 9 a.m., with a deposit of $300 needed to guarantee your spot and the balance due on June 5 (90 days before departure).

So those are our two possible options for 2023. The Cairo, Egypt & Holy Land pilgrimage in September is definite, and, if we have enough interest in France, we'll do that as well in June. For now, let us know your interest for France by emailing Roxie. For those wishing to go on the Egypt & Holy Land trip, a registration form is included below and we'll begin accepting them on Feb. 13 at 9 a.m. I have attached the two proposed itineraries again to refresh your memory, but remember these are subject to change/be tweaked, though they should be fairly representative of what you can expect on both pilgrimages.

Please let Roxie or myself know if you have additional questions. Hope you can join us!

Thank you, Fr. Sean
