Welcome to Catholic Travel Office, the oldest, continually operating travel business which organizes and promotes Catholic Vacation Pilgrimages.

In addition to our own scheduled pilgrimages, we specialize in customizing itineraries for group travel. Over the years we have operated pilgrimages for the Holy Years, the Eucharistic Congresses, Canonizations, Beatifications, World Youth Days and other major Church events.

We provided the first American Pilgrimage to Fatima in 1948, and our proudest accomplishment is our annual pilgrimage to Lourdes: the U.S. National Rosary Pilgrimage, which is open to everyone, individuals, families, youth, and parish groups. This year marks our 54th Annual Lourdes Pilgrimage and we will travel to Lourdes to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Apparitions – in this great Jubilee Year. This pilgrimage is accompanied by a medical staff, clergy, and non-medical volunteers.

Let us assist you in experiencing a pilgrimage that is competitively priced and all-inclusive. Perhaps you would enjoy visiting the great Marian Shrines, seeing the Eternal City of Rome, walking through the Holy Land, “In the Footsteps of Our Lord,” cruising the Greek Islands while following the life of St. Paul, visiting the Convent of the Divine Mercy, the places associated with the life of St. Bernadette, St. Francis, St. Therese, “The Little Flower,” and the many other pilgrim destinations in Europe, the Middle East and Mexico; while also enjoying the historical and artistic aspects of the wonderful places you will visit.

Our pilgrimages are accompanied by a priest and Mass will be celebrated daily in the local churches and major shrines. Experienced, English speaking guides will provide you with the history and importance of the places included in your itinerary and there will be time to socialize and of course, time to shop!

To the thousands of pilgrims we have already served, THANK YOU. To our first time clients, we offer you the spiritual vacation of a lifetime, and invite you to join one of our already scheduled programs or contact us to customize an itinerary for your group.
