My pilgrimage was absolutely incredible! Everything was perfect! Fr. Connolly was superb (an expert on the Holy Land, funny, welcoming, kind, compassionate, and truly a very Holy Priest)! I will most probably go only with him on future pilgrimages! Our Tour guides and drivers were also incredible, both in Jordan and Israel. The entire group especially bonded with Majd (tour guide) and Hammad (driver) in Israel. Many of us discussed the possibility of returning to the Holy Land and we would request Fr. Connolly, Majd and Hammad. They went above and beyond to make our journey through the Holy Land an unforgettable experience. I can’t say enough about their attention to us and to all the details they needed to deal with. Everything went so smoothly but shuffling 34 pilgrims (from 12 – 74 years old) is no easy task…yet Madj and Hammad were experts!!! This pilgrimage has changed my life forever and has taught me so much about our Catholic faith. I am still digesting all that I have seen and experienced, and I am certain that my renewed spirit will last until next year…when I hope to join Fr. Connolly on another adventure!

God bless all 206 Tour employees for their hard work and dedication to providing life changing spiritual journeys!
