CTC supports the following study tours which are open to audit students as well as students enrolled in academic programmes.
Study Tour of the Biblical Lands
3-18 December 2022
Journey with me and with Luke in 2022 along with our experienced guide, Gila Yudkin. This
tour is focussed on the Gospel of Luke engaging the narrative in the contextual landscape.
Experience being on a boat on the Sea of Galilee, explore underground Jerusalem, walk
through the Kidron Valley from Gethsemane to the Church of the Cock Crow, meditate in
the Shepherd’s field, ponder the site of the Nativity and engage the women who followed
Jesus among the disciples, all the while learning more deeply what Luke reveals of the good
news of Jesus. Prepare to be captivated, moved, and to enjoy new food and cultural
experiences as we follow Luke in modern Israel and Palestinian Territories. Be immersed in an experience of a lifetime and come home changed. PLUS: You can take the opportunity to undertake a study unit through CTC in conjunction with this tour (conditions and additional cost apply).

“Footsteps of Faith”: Encountering the Christian Tradition
Dates to be advised
Whether you join this Tour as Student or a Pilgrim, the experience will provide all participants with an opportunity to meet holy men and women who have enriched the Catholic tradition over the centuries; experience examples of the art, architecture and music that helped shape the cultural ethos of modern Catholicism; learn about the realities and consequences of the Reformation that have shaped our religious experience and so catch glimpses of the story of the Church in particularly as it has developed in Ireland, England, and Italy with the influences of these countries on Australian Catholics. As we do all this we will visit places of great beauty which have been the scenes of events shaping Catholic culture. There will be time for study, reflection and prayer with the possibility of celebrating Mass in many of the places we visit.
