You are Invited to a Catholic Pilgrimage to the Holy Land
After years of hearing the Gospels proclaimed at Mass, after years of proclaiming the Creed and partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ at Mass, imagine hearing those Gospels proclaimed, celebrating Mass, and receiving the Body and Blood of Christ in the very places that Jesus was born, baptized, ministered, taught, healed, suffered, died and rose from the dead. When you travel on a Catholic pilgrimage to the Holy Land with EO Catholic Tours, you’ll visit all of these sacred places, and much more. For over 45 years we have helped priests, deacons and their parishioners, family and friends to affordably experience the Holy Land. Our 8-day pilgrimages include first class hotels, breakfast and dinner daily, deluxe motorcoaches, professional guides, all entry fees and most gratuities. And, when a priest travels with your group, you’ll celebrate Mass in Bethlehem, on the Mount of Beatitudes, in Jerusalem’s Garden of Gethsemane, and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and in the small village where Mary visited Elisabeth and John the Baptist was born. Talk to your priest or deacon about hosting a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Or call us and we will contact your pastor with information and an invitation to expand his ministry by hosting a Catholic pilgrimage. You are of course welcome to join one of our clergy host on an upcoming 8-day Catholic pilgrimage to the Holy Land. This brochure is your invitation. Check out the dates on this page of the brochure. Then call our friendly guest services staff to see if we have a priest or deacon who is hosting a pilgrimage on your preferred date. Call 800-247-0017, Ext. 1-590 and ask about an EO Catholic Pilgrimage.
