Pilgrimage to Rome 2006

From June 3-10, 2006, the Church Club will lead a once-in-a-lifetime Anglican-Episcopal Ecumenical Pilgrimage to Rome. Arranged through the Club’s extensive contacts with Roman Catholic authorities and Anglican representatives in that city, the trip will give participants an inside view of Rome from which so much of the Christian view of life has stemmed for two millennia.  Each day will be filled with fascinating visits to important specially-arranged Vatican sites as well as world-class cultural and educational institutions.  Pilgrims will stay in the modern quarters of the monastery of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. The Rev. Canon J. Robert Wright, professor of ecclesiastical history at General Theological Seminary, will accompany the group, providing commentary and background.

The cost of the trip is $2,050 per person (double occupancy) or $2,150 (single occupancy).  The Pilgrimage includes seven nights of accommodations, all ground transportation throughout the week, all admission charges (including a private viewing for the Pilgrimage in the Sistine Chapel), and most meals.  Travel expenses to and from Rome are not included. 

Places on the pilgrimage are strictly limited.  To reserve a place, on a first-come, first-accepted basis, a deposit of $500 per person is required.  Please contact the Church Club at (212) 828-7418 or by email, churchclubny@nyc.rr.com.

Club members have received a mailing with brochure and reply card.  Note that you can pay by check or credit card (a space for card info was left off the reply card)--just provide your card number and expiration date in your response.
