SUMMARY:Pilgrimage to the Holy Land
DESCRIPTION:A pilgrimage to the Holy Land is one of the most powerful experiences in Christian life. Technology allows us to explore these places through video and books\, which is a gift. But\, when possible\, an in-person pilgrimage is different. It changes the pilgrim\, and it deepens the faith of those who hear the stories brought home. \nIn Lent 2027\, we will have the chance to make such a pilgrimage together. Our Diocese has organized Holy Land pilgrimages since 2012. They were paused in 2020\, and now\, by God’s grace\, they will resume. The pilgrimage is scheduled for March 3 through March 6\, 2027. We will visit the Church of the Nativity\, marking the place of Jesus’ birth; the Church of the Holy Sepulcher\, marking his death and resurrection; and the many sacred sites in between. \nRegistration for this pilgrimage will open in late March and the capacity is limited to 35 participants. \nTwo Zoom information meetings will be held at 7 p.m. on March 11 and March 16. These sessions will explain the itinerary\, costs\, and expectations\, and will help you decide whether this pilgrimage is right for you. If you would like to participate in one of these sessions\, please contact Lisa Sibal (lsibal@cccnola.org) to get the zoom link. If neither date works for you\, but you would still like to consider participating\, Lisa will take your contact information\, and will arrange an alternative time to share the information.
