Steve and Janet Ray here with a full bus of excited pilgrims, albeit tired from a flight across the seas. But excited and ready to go…

Jerry Usher is with us. Archbishop Samuel Aquila from Denver Colorado is with us along with four priests, two transitional deacons, two seminarians and three religious sisters in beautiful habits — oh and twelve young people who add a great flavor to the group.

*** FRIENDS AND FAMILY: LEAVE COMMENTS BELOW AND WE WILL READ THEM ON THE BUS! ***

The arrival and Mass at Stella Maris, walking through Jerusalem, arrival at the Sea of Galilee and more. I also will post all the homilies of the Archbishop and others along the way. Enjoy!

    Dear Steven Ray:
    Wishing you a very Happy and Blessed Birthday Mr. Ray !!! Thank you for all that you do for the faith. You have been such an inspiration for me and my friend Jacki. I have a friend that is on this journey with you who has a birthday on Wednesday, December 30th and her name is Jacki Cook. Please wish her a Happy Birthday for me. I feel like I am on this journey with you all in spirit. God Bless and I look forward to all the videos being taken in the Holy Lands.
    Peace and Love, Lynne Bilbrey

    God bless all those on this Pilgrimage! Israel knows what it is doing. Safer than going to Europe or walking US streets.

    To Atchbishop and the Dudzic family,
    I’m so enjoying following your travels. (I see Christopher is often leading the pack!) Love your homilies AB! Tony is glad to hear the 10 kids are well behaved, what about Paul D? ????
    All your locations bring great joy to us as we reflect upon the powerful pilgrimage we took there several years ago. We hope you have movements with the Lord that will provide grace the rest of your lives. (I’m getting emotional just writing this!)
    Lovingly from Denver,
    Mary Beth and Tony Church
