Welcome My Dear Friends!

I invite you to be the guest of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land and to be in communion with the Palestinian Catholics of the Holy Land. Share in their reality and their joys, reflect and consider your opportunity to serve your Mother Church. There is no substitute for a real tangible experience. Come, see and enjoy! A pilgrimage is a great experience, but what it is most important is that we encourage a pilgrimage where you can meet, break bread and visit the home of one of the Living Stones, the children of the Bible. I await your visit!”

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I eagerly invite you to come to the Holy Land and be the guest of the Jerusalem church and its congregations. The Arab Christians are the Living Stones of the Holy Land. They are the first believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and they feel they are the forgotten faithful. Join us in Christian fellowship and solidarity in the Holy Land! Come with the HCEF Living Stones Pilgrimage. This program is a unique opportunity to share in the daily trials and joys of your brothers and sisters living in the Land of Christ and proclaiming His message. Come reflect on our shared faith as you visit our churches and homes.”
