Catholic Journeys 

In addition to journeys to the Holy Land and other Biblical destinations, trips to Shrines, attractions, and other sites related to the history and evolution of the Catholic Church present many tour possibilties.  As a Catholic, you can appreciate a tour of Ireland, and many other popular destinations, with an itinerary designed from a Catholic perspective.   Taking part in a Catholic group tour to Italy can give participants lifelong memories, and provide them with a special understanding of the Church's history and today's reality.  Attendance at the general audience of the Pope is a special treat that enhances any visit to the Vatican.  Around the world, visits to shrines add a special dimention to an otherwise interesting itinerary.
