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.
God Bless. I’m with you all right off the plane.
Have a great day one.
Love in Him
Anne-Marie
