Greetings in the Lord!

May the peace, love, and joy of the Risen Lord be with you, your family, and your loved ones.

In 2019 I will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of my Priestly Ordination. To celebrate this wonderful occasion, I will travel to two places very special to me during my Priesthood—Holy Land and Italy—and I invite you to join me! Edita and our friends at Select International have worked with me to plan itineraries, hotels, and meals that surpass anything offered in an average group tour. A highlight of each trip will be daily Mass offered in beautiful and meaningful places important to our Faith.

The Holy Land pilgrimage will take place from February 28 through March 10, 2019. Please join interested potential pilgrims for aWine and Cheese information Night and Social on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 at 7 p.m. in the Saint Mary Center Personal Care Community Room (701 Lansdale Avenue, Lansdale, PA; please enter by the main door of the chapel). I’m attaching another copy of the brochure for you to review and share with friends. More information will also be posted on the Facebook page, Philly in Holy Land 2019.Registrations are coming in early and quickly, so I recommend that you reserve your space by registering soon.

Later in 2019, the “Faith and Flavors of Italy” pilgrimage will take us from the serene lake region of northern Italy to the amazing cities of Padua, Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Assisi, Orvieto, and Rome—with delicious food and abundant wine along the entire way! This luxurious pilgrimage, from October 28 through November 8, 2019, will allow us to see and experience the best Italy has to offer. An Information Night for this trip will be scheduled for early 2019. In the meantime, the brochure is attached and registration is open. The Facebook page for this pilgrimage is Navit Pilgrimage 2019.

More information about these trips, as well as “Know Before You Go” information can be found on Select’s website,

Please share this information with family members or friends that might be interested in joining us for these once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

As always, feel free to contact me personally with any questions.

Let’s continue to pray for one another.

God bless you.
