1979 Catholic Pilgrimages have formed a major
portion of the Church group travel services
offered by Casterbridge Church Tours. We have
30 years of experience in custom-designing Catholic
Tours to shrines and places of retreat and devotion
around the world. These pilgrimage tours can
include Catholic Shrines or places of Marian
apparition, such as Lourdes, Fatima, Knock,
Santiago de Compostela, Medjugorje, or Zaragoza.
Many of our pilgrimage tours are also combined
with days of retreat and reflection.
Pilgrimage Tours provide a special opportunity
for people to grow in their faith and deepen
their knowledge of key places of devotion. True
Catholic Pilgrimages journey with the giants
of faith and our Catholic Tours bring groups
to places once traveled by important Bible personalities.
These spiritual pilgrimages allow you to walk
with Christ on the road to Calvary, to stand
in some of the very places where Peter and Paul
proclaimed the truth of the resurrection. You
are able to relive the Pentecost experience
in the Upper Room or join with John the Baptist
as he baptized Jesus in the River Jordan. Take
a spiritual
pilgrimage to Rome with Peter and Paul and
visit the Mamertine Prison, the Forum and the
Colosseum, as well as spend time in prayer at
the tombs of St. Peter or St. Paul on your custom-designed
Catholic Tour. Experience the unique benefits
and fellowship of church group travel and design
your spiritual pilgrimage today.
Catholic
Pilgrimages are a golden opportunity to appreciate
the traditions of the past, as well as the work
of the Holy Spirit active in the Church of today.
Catholic tours allow participants to feel the
presence of St. Francis as you walk the hills
of Assisi, experience the life and sacrifice
of St. Catherine in Siena, or honor the legacy
of St. Peter, which is alive in the person of
the Pope in the
Vatican. Make your Catholic Pilgrimage a
true spiritual pilgrimage by participating in
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in St. Peter’s
Basilica in Rome or in one of the other major
basilicas or churches found in Italy and throughout
the world. Our Catholic tours and itineraries
can ignite your heart with the same missionary
zeal that moved saints like Ignatius of Loyola,
Vincent de Paul, Francis de Sales, Francis Xavier,
Joan of Arc, Bridget, Faustina, and St. Therese
of Lisieux.
Few experiences provide you with such life-changing
opportunities as a Catholic Pilgrimage. These
are a feast for the eyes, a challenge for the
heart, and a means of true spiritual nourishment
for your soul. With Casterbridge, every Catholic
Pilgrimage is specifically designed to cater
to the needs and spiritual objectives of your
group. For over 30 years, Casterbridge Church
Tours has been helping groups create truly spiritual
Catholic pilgrimages that are suited to the
unique needs of their particular parish. Maybe
you would like to take a spiritual pilgrimage
to trace
the roots of your patron saint or learn
more about a religious community that services
your church. Catholic tours can celebrate milestone
anniversaries or allow your church members to
participate in a worldwide event that will enable
you to meet with Catholics from across the globe.
Whatever the event, your Catholic pilgrimage
will include all the elements necessary for
an incredible spiritual journey.
