the Holy Land for January, 2017. Fr. Kevin Irwin,

are much thinner, allowing groups to have more
access and time at places of great historical and
religious significance. The program includes

historic and enchanting Notre Dame Center in
Jerusalem. If you’ve ever wanted to go the Holy
Land, this is a unique and unparalleled opportunity
