THIS COURSE IS FULL.
Course Description:
Through a close reading of Love and Responsibility, the class will study Karol Wojtyla’s philosophical approach to sexual ethics, one established through a phenomenological analysis of sexual attraction, love, male and female differences, shame, and chastity, among other topics. We shall then see how the personalistic norm provides a philosophical backbone for the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics, especially contraception. Love and Responsibility is the philosophical counterpart to the Theology of the Body.
Janet E. Smith, Ph.D., holds the Father Michael J. McGivney Chair of Life Ethics at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. She is an acclaimed author, regular columnist and blogger, and has appeared on various television shows. More than two million copies of her talk, “Contraception: Why Not” have been distributed.Time

Event Details
Mark your calendars from Oct. 18-23. Father Michael Nixon, the Theology of the Body Institute team of Christopher West, Jason Clark, Jen Settle and Bill Howard and outstanding guides will lead you on a journey around Mexico City learning of rich Catholic history and the ancient cultures that ruled until the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531 changed the course of Mexican (and global) civilization.
Our time there will be filled with faith, food and fun. It will culminate on Oct. 22, the Feast of St. John Paul II, with a day at the Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe to celebrate Mass as a group, spend the day with the tilma and visit the expansive and beautiful grounds around the shrine.
We will be announcing our chaplain very soon, and he will celebrate daily Masses and offer times for confession and spiritual direction. Pilgrims will receive daily formation on the profound connection between Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Theology of the Body. You will come to learn the many symbols, the hidden meaning of the tilma as a kind of icon of the theology of the body, and also a profound lesson for the New Evangelization: How do we reach the modern world with the gospel? The tilma provides a critical insight into that very important question.
Package includes: ¤ Price is land-only and includes four-star hotel and some meals ¤ Airfare to/from Mexico City not included but option available ¤ Daily Formation from Christopher West & Jen Settle of the TOB Institute! ¤ Daily Mass and confessions ¤ Price based on double-occupancy room ¤ Limited # of single rooms available for $795 additional cost.
* Pilgrimage begins and concludes in Mexico City. Flights to/from Mexico City are not included but Select International can assist in booking those flights. We will provide a meeting point and time at the airport for a shuttle to the hotel, or we will provide the hotel address for those whose flights come in at later times.

Join the Theology of the Body Institute on the ultimate pilgrimage — walking and praying in the footsteps of Jesus!
FEATURING Christopher West, Father Thomas Loya, Father Justin Brady, Jason Clark and the TOB Institute Team
This is it! When we began offering pilgrimages in 2015, we aimed to take our Theology of the Body lens out into the world and see our faith and those holy sites in a brilliant, new, life-transforming way. We’ve immersed ourselves in St. John Paul II’s Poland, Our Lady of Guadalupe’s Mexico, St. Patrick’s Ireland and the cradle of the faith in Italy. And it has all been building to our 2020 pilgrimage to the Holy Land. I invite you to join the Theology of the Body Institute team (myself included) on a truly life-changing 10 days in the Holy Land from Feb. 15-25, 2020. There will be daily formation from the chaplains, from me, and from others on the Institute team. We will celebrate Mass daily in incredible churches, and you will have opportunities for confession and spiritual direction. You’ll visit all of the places one would expect on a tour of the Holy Land, with our own special TOB lens added that will illuminate this land where Jesus was born and raised, where he proclaimed the Good News, and where he experienced his passion, death, and resurrection. This is THE ultimate Theology of the Body pilgrimage, and spots are limited. I hope you can join us!
— Christopher West, President and Co-Founder, Theology of the Body Institute
Package includes: Round-trip airfare from Newark to Tel Aviv • Tips for guide, driver, local guides • English-speaking Christian guide & whisper sets • Breakfast and dinner daily & special meals • Daily Mass arrangements • Daily formation with Christopher West, chaplains, TOBI Team • First-class hotel accommodations • Private air-conditioned tour bus • All admission charges per the itinerary • Porterage for one suitcase at all hotels • Select International Tours Travel Portfolio • Airline tax and fuel surcharge included & subject to change.
