- Share via
The owner of the Queen of Peace Ministry travel agency agreed to notify customers that his spiritual pilgrimage tours have no official connection with the Catholic Church, a prosecutor said.
Peter K. Miller operates a travel promotion business advertising spiritual pilgrimages to Lourdes, France; Rome and other religious locations.
Miller settled the consumer protection lawsuit without admitting wrongdoing.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Wendy Brough said Miller put religious pictures on stationery and promotional materials, leaving consumers with the impression that his tours were under the auspices of the Catholic Church.
The civil complaint also accused Miller of violating certain provisions of the Business and Professions Code relating to travel promotion.
Miller agreed to a court order requiring him to abide by the provisions of the Travel Promoters Act and display a statement on his materials that the business is not an official representative of the Catholic Church.
