My deacon class of 2024 is planning a Holy Land 10-Day Pilgrimage Retreat from December 28, 2023 to January 6, 2024. Four of my classmates have already joined me and my wife, Nancy, in signing up for this trip along with their spouses. We would like to invite a few of our parishioners from our churches to join us on our Holy Land 10-Day Pilgrimage Retreat.

This special pilgrimage is designed to walk in the Footsteps of Jesus. St. Jerome called the Holy Land “The Fifth Gospel.” The Scriptures will come alive as we follow the path of salvation history which will ultimately lead us to the holy city of Jerusalem, the place where the Pascal mystery unfolded. We will walk in the footsteps of the Lord, visiting the sacred sites of His birth, ministry, suffering, death, and resurrection. We will be accompanied by Fr. Chris Colavito, Diocese of Trenton; coordinated by Dr. Joe Stillo, fellow deacon candidate.
