Pilgrimage to the Holy Land – July 27 – Aug 7, 2026

Franciscan Holy Land Pilgrimage

Walk in the footsteps of Jesus, the Blessed Mother, and the Apostles on this Franciscan-led Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Meet your group in Tel Aviv and visit the city of Jaffa before traveling north to Mt. Carmel and Tiberias. Cana, Nazareth, Mt. Tabor, Capernaum, and the Mount of the Beatitudes are just a few of the sites you’ll visit in the region. Then board a boat and sail on the Sea of Galilee.

Next, it’s on to Jerusalem. Visit the Chapel of the Ascension and the Church of the Pater Noster on the summit of the Mount of Olives. Walk in the Garden of Gethsemane and see the Basilica of the Agony before traveling to swim in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. 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. Follow the Via Dolorosa to Golgotha inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and venerate the site of the Crucifixion and the Tomb of Jesus. Finally, enjoy a farewell dinner in at a local restaurant before your flight back to the USA the next morning.
