ABOUT US
We are a family-owned travel company proudly serving Catholic groups since 2001. Our goal is to offer unique, customized Catholic tours. We want our pilgrims to have a profoundly spiritual experience, where they will come back knowing and loving their Catholic faith more.
Being practicing Catholics ourselves, we want to share our passion for our faith and its history. Our pilgrimages offer a perfect combination of religious sites, local culture, and breathtaking scenery.
We solely organize Catholic pilgrimages - this is our expertise. And each trip is custom-tailored, meeting the group’s particular interests and needs.
To keep our trips cost-effective, groups must have a minimum of 20 paying passengers.
The itineraries for our Catholic tours focus on visiting religious sites and learning about the saints and Catholic history. It’s also a great opportunity to gain many blessings and form lifetime friendships. You don’t have to worry about a thing! We’ll take care of all the planning so that you can sit back and enjoy a wonderful pilgrimage.
The combination of superior customer service and extensive knowledge in the field of Catholicism and religious sites makes Catholic Heritage Tours the ideal choice for Catholic group travel.
Our Mission
To provide Catholic groups with ideal, customized travel arrangements
All our pilgrimages are “made from scratch”. We do not offer pre-packaged tours. Each Catholic group tour is designed and prepared from the ground up, choosing destinations, activities, and arrangements for their particular interests and needs. With your group’s preferences as our guidelines, we arrange for all that is necessary to make your Catholic pilgrimage a fulfilling experience.
To give Catholics the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of their Catholic heritage
As Catholics living in the busy 21st century, we often forget or are not too familiar with the previous two thousand years of Catholic history. From the time of Christ until today, the Catholic Church has endured and has passed on its treasures and traditions from generation to generation. It is by traveling to countries rich in Catholic culture that we can appreciate and learn more about our Faith.
To provide the means for successful, enriching spiritual journeys
Pilgrimages are important for Catholics. For centuries, pilgrim groups have traveled to Catholic religious sites to pray at the tombs of the saints, to venerate the relics and visit the cornerstones of our Religion. It is by venerating the holy sites of the Catholic Faith that you can achieve a fuller knowledge of their religious importance. This deeper knowledge of Catholic treasures and traditions leads to a true enrichment in one’s spiritual life. We make it possible for you to embark on Catholic tours and pilgrimages, with the advantages of customized itineraries and with the comfort of organized group travel.

WHY CHOOSE CATHOLIC HERITAGE TOURS?
Being a Catholic family-owned travel agency, we offer more than just travel arrangements – we offer expertise and spiritual enrichment.
Here at Catholic Heritage Tours, our passion is our Catholic faith. We understand the value of spiritual journeys and pilgrimages to the Catholic shrines of the world. It is because we understand this that we strive to arrange the material side of your trip so that it will proceed smoothly and with as little concern to you as possible.
At the same time, we endeavor to deepen the knowledge of our Catholic legacy. We do this by providing you with information on the sites, saints, and shrines which you will visit. We gather this information together and print it in a little booklet, individually prepared for each group trip.
We prepare each group’s itinerary personally and with expertise.
We begin the pilgrimage preparations by discussing with your group when and where they would like to go. We find out exactly what the group’s interests and expectations are. Then, we design a trip itinerary that perfectly fulfills those interests and expectations.
* When the desired itinerary has been chosen, we reserve your airline tickets.
* We make all your hotel and meal arrangements depending on your preferences.
* We hire professional tour escorts with vast experience in guiding Catholic groups.
* We take care of processing all registrations and payments for smooth planning.
We arrange a comprehensive and well-balanced program scheduling visits based on the logistics, the sites’ opening times, and the scheduling of Holy Mass. Our itineraries are designed to take full advantage of each day, while allowing time for prayer, shopping, and relaxation.
And when the departure day arrives, you will depart fully prepared to partake in a spiritual journey. You will return spiritually refreshed, with a deeper insight into your Catholic heritage.
So whether you want to join an Open Pilgrimage or form your own Catholic group, please contact us and give us the opportunity to show you the difference!
