Twenty-three students and five chaperones traveled to Europe on May 22 as part of an educational tour. The group toured London, Paris, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Sorrento and Capri while in Europe.

Students were able to visit the Louvre museum and see the Mona Lisa among the many other famous works of art. They also went up the Eiffel Tower, toured Westminster Abbey and other cathedrals.

During a visit to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City, students were able to see and hear Pope Benedict XVI address the thousands in the crowd.
