Pilgrimage to the Holy Land - September 9-17, 2019
In the Fall of 2019 (September 9-17), Fr. Ray invites you to join him on a Pilgrimage of a lifetime. We will visit the land of Jesus and the first Disciples. The price is $4209 per person (if booked by March 10) for a double. It includes airfare from Hopkins Airport, hotels in Israel, 9 days, 15 meals.
Some highlights of the Pilgrimage include:
- Visit the Church of All Nations, built over the rock on which Jesus prayed the night before His crucifixtion.
- Celebrate daily Mass at various sites
- Visit Pools of Bethesda where Jesus healed the paralytic.
- Visit the cities of Nazareth and Bethlehem.
- Follow the Via Dolorosa, walked by Our Lord on His way to Cavalry.
- Possible Mass at the actual Tomb of the Resurrection!
Although over a year away, I would like to invite you to a special travel presentation on the pilgrimage at St. Matthias Church on Thursday, August 9, 2018 at 7:00 pm. Please RSVP to me at rstrapper@yahoo.com or Sally Sutter (740-407-2157) of Mermaid Travel. (Full disclosure: Sally Sutter is my Sister-in-law).
Brochures will be available in the Gahering Area of the Church or at the Rectory Office.
