Per PersonDear Friends,
Join us on a sacred pilgrimage into the land where salvation history unfolded — where the Word became flesh, where Our Lord walked, taught, suffered, died, and rose again. Together we will stand in the very places where Jesus Christ lived His earthly life, and where the Gospel first took root.
In Bethlehem, we will pray at the birthplace of Christ, honor the humility of the Incarnation, and visit the fields where the angels announced peace to the shepherds. In Nazareth and Galilee, we will encounter the Holy Family, renew our vows in Cana, sail upon the Sea of Galilee, and walk in the same villages where Jesus called His disciples, worked miracles, and preached to the crowds.
Our pilgrimage will also bring us to the Jordan River, Jericho, Qumran, and the Dead Sea — ancient landscapes that witnessed the prophets, the first baptisms, and the earliest communities of faith.
At the heart of our journey is Jerusalem: Mount Zion, the Mount of Olives, Gethsemane, the Via Dolorosa, and finally the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — the very site of the Crucifixion and the Empty Tomb. Here, we will meditate on the central mysteries of our faith and celebrate Mass in the holiest places on earth.
This pilgrimage is a time for prayer, Scripture, sacrament, and personal encounter with Our Lord — an opportunity to return home renewed in spirit, strengthened in faith, and filled with the peace and hope of the Risen Christ.
With prayers and blessings,
Fr. Nathan Rueb
