“Along with several colleagues from our Diocese, I attended the Religious Education Congress in Los Angeles with the GPBS tour. I had heard about the Congress for many years and was pleased to finally get a chance to attend. It was a much better experience personally and professionally that I had even anticipated. The Congress is an example of the Catholic Church in all its wonderful diversity. The range, quality, and calibre of the workshop presenters were amazing. The variety of religious resources and services on display was quite extraordinary. I would strongly recommend the Congress to any teacher of religious education”.  - Dan McMahon, Principal, Shalom College, Bundaberg

As well as attending the Congress, we will visit a Catholic primary and secondary school, HomeBoy Industries, Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral, the new Christ Cathedral (Crystal Cathedral) and a number of other educational, religious and tourist highlights.

Join with us on this fully escorted tour with quality accommodation, all transfers, and a number of key highlights that ensure a beneficial professional learning experience for Catholic educators.

You Are Enough! You Belong!

Testimonial LA RECongress 2023

"The GPBS tour that enabled Principals and Religious Education Coordinators to attend the Los Angeles Congress from the Diocese of Wollongong was outstanding. The importance of quality formation that enriches Catholic school leaders' creativity and pedagogical practice was expertly facilitated by the Congress. The organisation and facilitation by Paul and the team at Minna Travel and GPBS were of the highest quality.  GPBS has our highest  endorsement!"
