Trips & Pilgrimages
The Department of Continuing Education intends to offer study-trips of various kinds to significant destinations annually for all who are interested.

The maximum number of participants will vary depending on the destination, and some trips are likely to fill rapidly. If you are interested in a specific trip, you may want to request that you receive the flyer as soon as it is available.
