Journey with us

This Christmas, Embrace the Holy Land with Christ

Dear Pilgrims of the Holy Land,

The Holy Land…these words have been echoed from past Pilgrimages for centuries. But, for nearly 3 years the echoes are being diminished. Today they are almost negligible. Yet, not for much longer! We are honored to be coordinating one of the first returning Holy Land Pilgrimages. Over the past 18 months we have made 3 trips to our Lord’s homeland.

We absolutely know the need for you…the Pilgrim, seeking to walk in the footsteps of where Jesus was born, died, and is Resurrected.

In annual visits for the past 12 years, we have come to realize that money, words and prayers are important but “BEING THERE” is critical to the well-being of our Catholic Christian community. They gain strength and momentum when they see us come and immerse ourselves in these blessed lands of our Lord.

We will bring you to the most relevant and important places in this land of the Old and New Testament. From Caesarea Maritima to Galilee to Bethlehem to Jerusalem and major points throughout this land of God. We not only bring you to these hallowed locales…we bring you to the Living-Loving Stones in one on one personal ways where you can see, touch and feel the way one lives in this land of complexity and history.

As members of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, we are tasked with knowing this is WHO we are and this IS what we do! As your Pilgrimage Coordinators our motto is simple…”we take you on the Pilgrimage, Jesus brings you home.” Come and join us now!

Blessings on your travels,
