Youth Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

Date and Time

Starting: Sunday 03 August 2008

Ending: Tuesday 12 August 2008

Description

Led by Deb Neal, chair of the Program Group on Youth Ministries, and Chris Tumilty, intern to Bishop Jon Bruno, both of whom were members of a 42-member pilgrimage group that accompanied Bruno to Israel in August 2007. Itinerary will include visits to Bethlehem, the Galilee, and Jerusalem. Five adult chaperones will accompany the young people. Guide will be Iyad Qumri, a Palestinian Episcopalian who has worked with many previous pilgrimage groups from the diocese. The areas of the Holy Land to be visited by the group are very safe, and every precaution will be taken to ensure a safe journey. Cost: $2500 per person (subject to change), which includes airfare, accommodations, meals, and all entry fees. Most nights will be spent at St. George's Cathedral and College in Jerusalem, a short walk from the walls of the Old City.
