Your Pilgrimage of a Lifetime to the Holy Land awaits you on May 28-June 6, 2007.

Rev. and Mrs. Fred and Carol Conger from Educational Opportunities will be at Annunciation of the Mother of God BC Church following Divine Liturgy on Sunday July 30, 2006 to share all of the details of this wonderful trip hosted by Carson and Christine Lauffer of our parish. If you cannot come to the event please contact Carson Lauffer.

Carson Daniel Lauffer and his wife Chris invite you to join them on the pilgrimage of all pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Carson and Chris have participated in an archaeological dig and have traveled in Israel. Carson has hosted two other tours prior to this trip to the land of Jesus' life, death, and glorious resurrection.

We will see Bethlehem, Galilee, Jerusalem, Masada and so much more on this trip of a lifetime. The pilgrimage will include round trip air faire, transportation within the country, lodging in two four star hotels, and two great meals each day for just over $2,000.00 per person. There are ways to lower even that price which will be shared on Sunday July 30 or by mail, phone or email if you cannot make the July 30 event.

If you plan to attend the information meeting on Sunday July 30 please sign the sheet in the Narthex or see Carson or Christine today. Information brochures are available upon request.

For further information contact Carson Lauffer, 815-726-9179 or 815-557-4370 or by email Laufferc266@sbcglobal.net. You may also go to the website of Educational Opportunities at www.eo.travelwithus.com [eo.travelwithus.com]

I wish to thank Father Loya of Annunciation Parish for his enthusiastic support of this pilgrimage.

Mr Lauffer

This sounds a very intersting trip indeed but I do wonder how you are going to manage to organize this trip as well as your Conference .

Are there any more details available yet since I don't think I will be able to get to your Church for the meeting.

Since our teams have experience at doing both it should be no problem. Once one has done something the subsequent ocassions become easier.

For details click on the link and go to Holy Land tours and go down to the date. If you are interested still send me a pm with your snail mail address and I'll send you a brochure.

I am a tour host not a guide. The details of the trip are worked out by Educational Opportunities. I just recruit travelers and watch over them while we are in Israel. I do have a host # you will need for registration so if you do plan to go let me know and I will give you my host #.

We are looking for recommendations for an Eastern Catholic Church in Jerusalem. We will be in Jerusalem for the Feast of All Saints. If you compare prices and accomodations and the long record that this company has I think you will agree that this is really an excellent Pilgrimage.

Does anyone know how to get contact information for Eastern Catholic Churches in Jerusalem?

Dan,

I would contact the Melkite Eparchy: http://www.melkite.org
who in turn could put you in contact with the Melkite Patriarchal Exarch for Jerusalem so you could find out where the Melkite Churches are and what time Litrugy is.

Father Deacon,

Thank you. I'll let you know how my search progresses.
