Don't Just Take a Vacation. Take a Pilgrimage.

Your Journey to the Holy Land Starts Feb 13, 2026

Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus

In a world full of travel destinations, how many truly nourish your soul?


I know many who travel often, yet they've never considered a Holy Pilgrimage to Israel. They miss out on a profound, life-altering spiritual experience.


Friend, it's time to stop just reading the stories and start walking in them.


I'm personally leading a special, life-changing journey: The "Receive Your Miracle" Holy Land Pilgrimage from February 13 to 22, 2026.

The Bible Coming Alive

Imagine a 10-Day Spiritual Retreat Where You Will...

Walk the Via Dolorosa

Trace the path of Christ's sacrifice to Calvary and feel the weight of history in Old City Jerusalem.

Stand in Bethlehem

Visit the sacred place where the great miracle of Christmas unfolded.

Sail the Sea of Galilee

Experience the tranquil waters where Jesus preached, healed, and called His first disciples.

Experience Fellowship

Travel with a community of faith, celebrate daily Mass, and enjoy a special Feast in the Holy Land.

A Personal Invitation

"Don't wait for the miracle to find you; go and meet it."

This is a long, moving spiritual retreat. We aren't just visiting sites; we are moving toward God. I've been returning to Israel since I was 16, and I will be your spiritual leader.


My prayer for you is simple: that this pilgrimage ignites a deeper spiritual connection, inspires new directions for your life, and opens your heart wider to receive your great miracle.


As Muslims feel called to make the journey to Mecca, I believe every Christian should experience this profound connection to their faith's roots at least once.

Can I renew my baptismal vows at the Jordan River?

Yes! One of the most profound experiences of this pilgrimage is the opportunity to renew your baptismal vows at Yardenit, the baptismal site on the Jordan River.

This is the very river where St. John the Baptist baptized Jesus. Standing in these sacred waters and recommitting to your faith is a deeply moving spiritual moment that many pilgrims describe as life-changing.

White baptismal robes are available for those who wish to enter the water. Our Pilgrimage Chaplain will lead the renewal ceremony.

Can married couples renew their vows?

Yes! At the Church of the First Miracle in Cana, married couples have the beautiful opportunity to renew their marriage vows.

This is the very place where Jesus performed His first miracle — turning water into wine at a wedding feast. What better location to reaffirm your commitment to your spouse?

Our Pilgrimage Chaplain will lead a special ceremony for all couples who wish to participate. Many couples describe this as one of the most meaningful moments of their pilgrimage.

What is the Dead Sea experience like?

We visit Neve Midbar Beach on the shores of the Dead Sea — the lowest spot on earth at 430 meters below sea level.

The unique experience:

  • The water is so salty that you literally float without trying
  • The mineral-rich waters and mud are known for their healing properties, especially for skin conditions
  • It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won't find anywhere else on earth

Bring your swimsuit and prepare for an unforgettable experience! Just remember not to splash water in your eyes — it's very salty!
