The Holy Land is an absolute bucket-list item for Catholics, and for good reason! Since my last email, so many have reached out to me expressing interest in making this once-in-a-lifetime trip to see the places where our salvation was accomplished by Jesus Christ.

I agree: a parish trip to this place at the beginning of Lent next year will not just change Lent, but change lives.

I carefully combed through their suggestions and customized it to be a guided meditation on the mysteries of our salvation. Not only will we visit the places of Jesus' birth and youth such as Bethlehem and Nazareth, but also the places of His ministry, including:

• Capernaum and Galilee.
• We will visit Cana and married couples will have the chance to renew their vows
• Travel down to the river Jordan to renew our baptismal promises
• Float in the Dead Sea
• Walk the path of Palm Sunday
• Visit the Upper Room of the Last Supper
• Climb Calvary
• Enter the tomb where Jesus was buried
• and so much more

I am limiting this trip to about 30 people, and several others outside of our parish are already asking for seats, but I want YOU to come and share this life changing trip with me. Plan to come, bring your family. It's going to be awesome! If not full, the trip will open to non-parishioners as of July 15, 2023.
