First, price! Our price is the same as competitors BUT — unlike competitors — all of our on-shore excursions are INCLUDED in the price! Also included are ALL tips, even on the ship!
Second, we don’t trust just any guides and drivers – those assigned by the cruise ship. I AM YOUR GUIDE and only work with my own people on shore. I want this to be a purely Catholic experience at Catholic sites.

Posted March 2, 2010 at 10:22 amWe just filled the third bus and now — maybe there are 2 or 3 seats left, but we have to shut down registration and put new callers on a waiting list. Janet and I, along with Teresa Tomeo are going to Italy in May to see the Shroud of Turin. What an exciting trip this will be!
Here is an article about the million plus people who will see the Shroud this Spring. It will not be brought out again for about 25 years!
We will land with our 150 pilgrims in Milan Italy. We will be in Turin …

Jim and I chose the Legatus pilgrimage to the Holy Land precisely because Steve Ray was leading it. He exceeded our expectations in his comprehensive knowledge of the Scriptures and especially in his love for the traditions of the early Church. Steve not only teaches with great passion and insight, but his love for the truths of the faith was palpable. Steve and Janet made sure that we saw as much as possible of the holy sites where Jesus and Mary lived and walked, and made their presence alive for us. We were privileged to have Mass every day at one of the holy sites. We also made the Way of the Cross in Jerusalem, an emotional experience, despite the hustle and bustle of the city.—
We are still sharing our memories and blessings with our family and friends. We already have friends who are ready to take the next trip with Steve and Janet, based upon our recommendations. It was a five-star experience in every way!

Holy Land Reflections from Fr. Mark Lawlor
Fr. Mark Lawor
Several people have asked about the recent pilgrimage to the Holy Land. In reflection, I know that it was a blessing to have been invited by Gail Buckley of Catholic Scripture Study, Int. to serve as a chaplain. It was also a blessing to be in the company of hosts and guides Steve and Janet Ray. Steve and Janet have a great knowledge of the Holy Land and are enthusiastic Catholic witnesses. The majority of the pilgrims were part of a delegation of Spirit Radio based in Nebraska. We began with five priests & 67 pilgrims. …
