Travel Immersions and Experiences
Catholic Social Teaching (CST) recognizes and respects other cultures, emphasizing the dignity of all people and the need for solidarity and cooperation. It acknowledges the importance of diverse cultures and the need to learn from them.
Rooted in this teaching and aligned with our mission and values, Central Catholic has established partnerships to connect students with host organizations that offer immersive and meaningful travel opportunities. While these trips are coordinated through Central Catholic in terms of communication and promotion, the host organizations are fully responsible for the planning, liability, and execution of the trips.
Below are upcoming trips. This does not reflect travel for our band, athletic, or Constitution teams as those trips are coordinated around specific opportunities for students engaged in those activities. Please reach out to the respective coach or teacher for more information about these activity-specific travel opportunities. In addition, several Central Catholic students have engaged in the Wonderfolk program.
