    Hello to Pa-Pa and Grandma Gorham from Shelley, Rachid, Rayna, and Salma! We’ve been keeping tabs on you nightly through the website. It looks like you are having a wonderful time! Congratulations on the renewal of your marriage vows. Happy New Year!

    Hello Pilgrims!
    Tell Fr. Larry Delaney that we have been following the blog and watching the videos – our 7 year old son Peter was very concerned that if Fr. Larry is in the Holy Land, there might not be a priest at mass here in East Grand Forks. Peter was relieved to see Fr. Ed and Fr. Andrew holding down the fort.
    Special hellos also to Elizabeth Rzepka and the Vaseks!
    Love and Prayers –
    Ben and Janelle Gergen

    Greetings to Elizabeth and all your fellow pilgrims from mom, dad, and family. Your trip looks beautiful and inspiring. I was not surprised to see a picture of you Elizabeth up in a tree! We pray you are all drawn more deeply into Gods love and the fullness of the faith by being in all these holy places where He lived and taught and performed miracles. What a gift to be there. And to be with such wonderful Priests. We look forward to talking to you when you return. Love and prayers to all. Peggy Rzepka
