Children ages 4 to 10 are invited to an incredibly unique journey through the land of Israel, while exploring the GREAT MYSTERY OF THE HOLY MASS and the POWER IN JESUS WORD.

Mon., June 7 - Friday, June 11
9 a.m. - Noon

Get your holy passports ready to travel through sacred time with our Divine Tour Guide, the Holy Trinity, led by the powerful Word of Jesus, our great High Priest. Jesus collapses time from the Altar at Holy Spirit and the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Discover how time disappears from the Cenacle in Jerusalem, where Jesus celebrated the Last Supper, to Golgotha, Mt. Calvary, where Jesus died and the Garden of the Resurrection, where Jesus rose from the dead. We begin our journey in Egypt as we relive the Passover Meal with the Israelites, traveling through time until the celebration of the First Holy Mass, the Last Supper.

The travel fare is $25.00 per child or $45.00 per family. Travel fare includes: Exceptional biblical tour guides Moses, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; City entry fees for Jerusalem and Egypt are included, and an excursion through the Red Sea while listening to Bible stories, singing, eating yummy snacks, praying, playing super fun games, photo and memorabilia crafts to remind you of your incredible journey.

We depart for Israel on Monday, June 7 and return Friday, June 11, daily trips begin 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The children will meet up with their parents on Friday, June 11 at 11:00 a.m. and will perform the songs they learned while on their incredible journey.
