An Invitation To Join Us
Dear Friends in Christ:
It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to join us for what will be our fourth pilgrimage journey with Catholic Travel
Centre. This time we will travel to the beautiful Emerald Isle of Ireland, a land of enchantment full of history, laughter, and music.
Please take some time to review this brochure, and explore the opportunity to come to know personally the rich history
and faith of Ireland. Join us as we tour the lush countryside, visit legendary sites, and experience famous Irish hospitality in
cathedrals, abbeys, parks, and pubs.
Thanks to the vaccines, we are confident the pandemic will be under control in Europe soon, and certainly by next Spring. We
will likely be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter European countries, so we can be assured of having safe
travels.
As always, Mass and time for prayer and reflection will be a vital part of our pilgrimage.
Please consider joining us on this wonderful opportunity to take a spiritual journey with your fellow parishioners.
We look forward to traveling with you!
May the road rise up to meet you and the wind be always at your back.
Fr. David, Fr. Darrell & Mary Ann
