About this pilgrimage:
Fr. Scott Courtney is one of our favorite pilgrimage priests. Everyone loves to have him along! He now invites you to join us on a Holy Land pilgrimage along with his friends, fans and his parishes. Enjoy a group of like-minded Catholics from the Nebraska area and around the country for a marvelous pilgrimage through the land of our Lord and Our Lady.

Steve and Janet have partnered with the same Catholic Nazarene guide for all their trips over the last decade. Amer is a practicing Catholic and a walking encyclopedia. He is considered one of the finest guides in the Holy Land. Having a Christian guide is very important.

You’ll enjoy Steve and Janet’s trusted hotels, and delicious meals including some amazing dinner experiences away from the typical hotel buffets. Wine provided with all dinners along with a wide range of cuisines to experience the Holy Land to it’s fullest.

You will receive their 110-page color handbook, daily YouTube videos so your family and friends can join you virtually every day and a fully edited movie of your trip upon your return home.

Steve personally teaches at the holy sites and shares experiences from over 150 previous trips to Israel and other biblical lands since 1995. We do everything we can to support the local Christians who only make up 1.5% of the population.

Daily Mass at the most holy sites, pray every Mystery of the Rosary where it took place, pray the Stations of the Cross on the way to Mass at Calvary and the Tomb.

Our priest will be one of Steve and Janet’s good friends who has joined them as chaplain numerous times. His name is Fr. Scott Courtney and everyone loves his fine homilies, devout Masses and his joy and fun along the way.

Here you can view his famous homily given at the Mount of Beatitudes on a recent pilgrimage on which he joined us.
