L. P. Pilgrimage

After a long wait, it is a blessing to once again welcome pilgrims to the Holy Land. 🇭🇺✝️

Today, we are especially grateful to welcome seminarians and Knights from Hungary, walking in the footsteps of Christ and praying in the sacred places where our faith began.

Their presence carries a beautiful message to Christians around the world: the Holy Land is waiting for you.

Come back to Nazareth, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Galilee. Come pray where Jesus was born, where He taught and performed miracles, where He gave His life for us, and where He rose again.

Your pilgrimage is more than a visit. It is an encounter with the Gospel made alive—and your presence is also a blessing and encouragement to the Christian communities who call the Holy Land home.

It is time to return to the Holy Land. Come and bring your faith to life. 🙏✝️

St. Teresa of Ávila — reformer and master of the spiritual life.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux — teacher of the “Little Way” of love and trust.
