While travel to the Holy Land may not be possible right now, our faith journey stretches far beyond — to sacred sites that helped shape the New Testament and the early Church. Join Arkansas Catholic, April 19-30, 2027, on a pilgrimage to Greece and Ephesus, where we will walk in the footsteps of St. Paul, St. John the Evangelist, and, according to tradition, even the Blessed Virgin Mary. Father Mauricio Carrasco, director of spiritual formation for the House of Formation, will be our spiritual director. We will visit: Philippi, where St. Paul baptized Lydia, Europe’s first Christian; Athens, where St. Paul preached at the Areopagus; Corinth, where St. Paul lived and wrote; and Ephesus, where St. John wrote the Gospel and St. Mary spent her final years. Daily Mass, Scripture reflections and fellowship will enrich each step. If you’ve longed to grow closer to God through religious travel — this is your chance. To learn more, visit Arkansas Catholic. A $100 discount is available for those who book by October 30, 2025. If you have any questions, contact Kathy Primm of Sue Smith Vacations at (501) 771-0987 or kathy@suesmithvacations.com.
