Franciscan Foundation Pilgrimage to the Holy Land: March 16-27, 2026

FRANCISCAN FOUNDATION PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND

Experience an 11-day pilgrimage of reflection, prayer and renewal of faith in the Holy Land with the Franciscan Foundation for the Holy Land (FFHL) during the sacred season of Lent. This is more than a trip, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk in the very places where Christ lived, taught, suffered and rose again. Guided by a Franciscan priest, you will celebrate Mass in holy sites, pray where Jesus prayed and encounter the Gospels in a way that transforms heart and soul.

 Highlights of this unique journey include:

• Galilee – Sail across the Sea of Galilee, visit Capernaum where Jesus taught, and stand on the Mount of Beatitudes where He gave the Sermon on the Mount.
• Nazareth & Cana – Visit the Basilica of the Annunciation and renew marriage vows in Cana.
• Jerusalem – Walk the Palm Sunday Road, pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, follow the Via Dolorosa and kneel at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
• Bethlehem – Celebrate the gift of Christ’s birth at the Church of the Nativity.
• Petra & Amman – Witness the beauty of Petra and the lands that set the backdrop of salvation history.
