So, you’ve decided to take a group from your parish or school on a pilgrimage. Why choose Chi Rho Euro? Aren’t there other companies that are larger or have been doing it longer?
There are companies that are bigger and companies that have been in business longer, but there are several factors that set Chi Rho Euro. apart. First, the founder and his reason for starting the company. The founder, Patrick Arensberg, started taking groups to Italy so that they could experience the Catholic faith the way he experienced it as a student there. He has seen the power that a pilgrimage has on Catholics at every stage of growth towards the Lord, and this is the motivation for the company. Patrick is a Catholic educator first. He is in fact the Chairman of the Theology Department of McGill-Toolen Catholic High School in Mobile, Alabama. Patrick cares deeply about each pilgrim who travels with his company.
With Chi Rho Euro. you will find that there are no hidden costs. Most tour companies are ingenious at hiding costs from the advertised price. They present a rock bottom looking price to entice the consumer and then tack on essential costs once the customer signs up. Chi Rho Euro. does not and will not do this. Companies will typically advertise prices that do not included airport fees and taxes, fuel surcharges, registration fees, tips, beverages with the meal, entrance fees and many other items that add to nearly $1,000. Patrick prefers to be very upfront about all costs. Everything is included except one meal a day and personal expenses.
On a Chi Rho Euro. pilgrimage you will find that the schedule allows you to enjoy your time. Patrick’s expertise helps you to avoid lines and maximize your time. The schedule is full, but not so full that you don’t have time to enjoy it. You will also find that the schedule allows you to see the best of the “secular” sites, but is centered around the sites that Catholic pilgrims will find of particular interest. This along with the central hotels and exquisite meals, personally arranged by Patrick Arensberg, assure a Chi Rho Euro. pilgrim of an unequaled experience!
