Over the years we have found that the more prepared pilgrims are in every way, the more fulfilling their experiences have been. These are the ones who have taken care of all of the details before even leaving their own country. They already know what to pack, what to expect and some of the basic cultural rules. We have listed below the concerns that our pilgrims have had in the past. We hope this will help you to also be better prepared.

Remember that you are on pilgrimage for a short time. It is a chance to surrender to the mystery of the journey, without all the props and masks and distractions of daily routines. You have a unique opportunity to rest in the hands of your leaders, in the hospitality of the wonderful people in the Holy Land, and in the guiding love of God. Traveling lightly, including shedding your worries and preconceptions, will open your heart to the adventure and the Holy journey we will be sharing.
