FOOTSTEPS OF ST. PAUL MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE
OCTOBER 21 – NOVEMBER 3, 2026
Don’t miss the original “seminar at sea” with Janet and Steve Ray! This incredible itinerary was developed by Steve to share the story of the Bible with you.
If the Church was born in Israel, it grew up in Turkey and Greece. Step back in time and walk in the footprints of St. Paul!
St. Paul and the New Testament will come alive on this journey. Steve
has chosen a specialized itinerary for his groups with terrific guides
and drivers. Steve will be giving talks along the way, and best of all,
Father James Conlon (our spiritual director) and Steve will conduct a
mini-seminar aboard the ship while at sea!
PILGRIMAGE HIGHLIGHTS
VISIT 10 BIBLICAL SITES
Walk the path of St. Paul in Athens, Crete, and Rhodes and see where he preached in Ephesus, Philippi, and Corinth. These sites and more bring the Bible to life during this incredible pilgrimage by land and sea!
CELEBRATE MASS AT THE HOUSE OF MARY
Visit this holy site where Mary spent her final days with St. John. After Mass, continue to St. Mary’s Church, home of the Third Ecumenical Council, for Steve’s talk on “Mary, Mother of God.”
PRESENTATIONS BY STEVE
Alongside Father James Conlon, Steve Ray will give a “Seminar at Sea.” Spend afternoons on the ship hearing about “The Life of St. Paul.” Talks will also be shared at each of the biblical sites along the way.
