On August 3,1961, His Eminence Rufino
cardinal Santos, DD, then Archbishop of Manila, inaugurated the catholic
Travel, Inc. (CTI) to service the travel requirements of the Church in
the country. His aspiration was that through this archdiocesan travel
office, the Church in the Philippines, the sole Christian country in South
East Asia, would intensify its missionary task of spreading the Gospel
to the different corners of Asia. It was a vision of a missionary and
evangelizing Church that inspired the creation of Catholic Travel.
Today, after almost four decades, Catholic Travel continues
to live up to its vision and commitment to through promoting pilgrimage
as an effective instrument of evangelization and spiritual renewal as
it sends its clergy, religious and lay faithful to venerate and pray in
the various sacred shrines around the world.
Catholic Travel, having served our people for almost
four decades, boasts of stability and a length of service no other travel
agency in the Philippines can beat.
Catholic Travel is staffed by 13 dedicated and committed
employees who unselfishly and untiringly cater to the travel needs of
its customers.
Under this new Management Team, Catholic Travel gears
up for a more dynamic and higher quality performance as an RCAM (The Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Manila) corporation.

- to organize, promote and facilitate religious pilgrimages
as an effective tool for evangelization

tool for evangelization.
