History
CTC's beginnings date back to the early 1980s, when the company's founder, Scott Scherer, left the corporate world to use his business skills to fundraise for the Catholic Church in North Carolina. While living at a local retreat center and fundraising for the Church, Scott began to organize pilgrimages.He quickly discovered this was his passion. In 1991, Scott moved to Los Angeles to share his passion with a mentor and a veteran in religious group travel. Together they founded Catholic Travel Centre. In 1994, Scott became the sole owner of Catholic Travel Centre, which has established a reputation for its high-quality of service that meets both the spiritual needs and the travel needs of Catholic pilgrims.
