Franciscan Pilgrimage to the Holy Land & Jordan – March 3-13, 2026

Franciscan Holy Land Pilgrimage

Join us on our most popular pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Jordan. Meet your tour in Tel Aviv before traveling up the Mediterranean coast to Mount Tabor, the spot of the Transfiguration. Watch pilgrims renew their wedding vows in Cana, see the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, spend time in Tiberias then board a boat and sail on the Sea of Galilee to Capernaum. Cross into Jordan where we’ll visit Mt. Nebo and then descend into Petra – one of the Seven Wonders of the World! Following a full day in Petra, we’ll spend a night in Amman. Then it’s on to Jerusalem with a stop along the Jordan River to renew our Baptismal Promises.

Once in Jerusalem, visit the Chapel of the Ascension and the Church of the Pater Noster on the summit of the Mount of Olives, with a panoramic view of the city, before traveling for a swim in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Walk in the Garden of Gethsemane and see the Basilica of the Agony. Follow the Via Dolorosa to Golgotha inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and venerate the Tomb of Jesus. Touch the spot where Jesus was born within the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and see the birthplace of John the Baptist and the Church of the Visitation in Ein Karem.
