Fr. Monette Pilgrimage Led by Steve & Janet

by Steve Ray on February 16, 2008




I've moved all the Virtual Videos & Comments to my Pilgrimage website. To see all the videos, click here

First group arrived on British Air with their fearless leader Fr. Michael Monette. They are now napping comfortably at the Sheraton in Tiberias. Janet and I picked them up at 5:30 AM. We are now on our way back to Tel Aviv on our bus to pick up the next two groups at 3:00 PM on Lufthansa and British Air. I'll update as soon as we get them on the bus.

UPDATE 5:30 PM Israel time: The afternoon flights have arrived and we're halfway to Tiberias. All is well and everyone tired but excited.

    Enjoy and be filled with all our wonderful Lord has for each and everyone of you.
    This morning at mass I was drawn very close to Christ , His experience on the cross and the reflection of where all of you are in relation to Biblical history. Grow deep we are burdened to pray diligently for all of you.
    Pray for my (art’s) physical healing. Love in CHRIST, Art & cheryl
