The pilgrimage to the Holy Land is unforgettable, no matter how many times we have already been there. The fact that we are going to be in the same places that Jesus Christ Our Savior had lived in, creates an extraordinary impression that will last forever.
We will all depart from our hometowns on Monday September 1, 2008
Please check the expiration date of your passport. It should be valid for at least 6 months past our return from the trip (March 15, 2009).
