Diocesan Pilgrimage to the Holy Land 2019
I am delighted to be able to commend this pilgrimage from our Diocese to the Holy Land from 18th to 25th February 2019. I do hope that some of you and your people will be able to accompany me in this journey of a lifetime.
An itinerary is being prepared that will not only include visits to the major sites in Bethlehem, Galilee and Jerusalem but also opportunities to meet the beleaguered local Christian communities and to celebrate Sunday Mass with them in one of the local villages. We shall also be engaging with the Friends of the Holy Land and the projects in which they are involved.
Fr Paul Maddison, a priest of East Anglia Diocese, is director of Pilgrimage People and has been organising and directing these pilgrimages for many years. Fr Paul will be visiting the Diocese at the beginning of October to give visual presentations and fuller details of the itinerary, costs etc. in the three counties. Do please come along to one of these and encourage your parishioners to come as well. These are noted below as part of a suggested newsletter insert.
A pilgrimage to the Holy Land is the experience of a lifetime. To walk in the footsteps of our Lord brings alive in a new way the scriptures we have so often read and heard. To meet our Christian brothers and sisters there, who are suffering greatly, gives them and us real encouragement in our faith.
With every kind wish
Yours devotedly,
Rt Rev Mark O’Toole
Bishop of Plymouth
