Prayer Partners

500 parishioners have already signed up to pray for a pilgrim each day of the journey. The pilgrims will be praying for their prayer partners during this time. It is so great to see the entire parish supporting this pilgrimage in a spiritual way. I would like to thank all that are participating in this endeavour.

About the Trip

A group of 50 Catholics from the Wooster, Ohio and surrounding area are being led by Fr. Dan Reed of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Due to the generosity of others I have been blessed with the opportunity of a lifetime. We will be leaving Cleveland on January 12th and arriving in Tel Aviv the next evening. The first three days will be spent around the Sea of Galilee and on the third day we will travel down the Mediterranean coast on the way to Jerusalem. We will tour the Jerusalem area for three days and have a free day in Jerusalem. On the 21st we will return to Cleveland.
