Students and young adults, walk along the Lord's path of Providence! With each day centered on personal and community prayer, we follow Christ, encounter his People, and seek steps of freedom in finding and responding to the Lord's call.
Let yourself be captivated by the beauty of creation
Contemplate the breathtaking masterpiece of the Divine Artist as you trek through the desert, swim in the Sea of Galilee, feel the wind from the top of Mount Tabor, and plunge into the Mediterranean Sea.
Encounter Christ on the road less traveled
​
Leave behind comfort, carry everything on your back, and trust in the Lord's providence as you hike and camp throughout the Holy Land. Discover the reality that "pilgrimage is praying with your feet."
Connect with the Jewish Roots of Christianity
​
Pray in synagogues, celebrate Shabbat in Jewish homes, worship by the Western Wall, learn Hebrew language and song, and dance, and meet our Rabbi friends to discover Jewish roots of the Faith.
Engage with Modern Israel
​
Learn your way around the Jewish markets, float in the Dead Sea, meander through the diverse streets of Jerusalem and Hebron, witness to Arabic-speaking Byzantine young people, explore the Holocaust Museum, listen to St. Paul's mission on the Mediterranean shores...
Serve with a Catholic religious community
​
Extend your trip! Live alongside brothers, sisters, and lay members of the Community of the Beatitudes at the Holy Site of Emmaus where tasks can range from manual labor to working at the Holy Site gift shop to cooking, cleaning, and more! Or to take retreat with the monastic Sisters of Bethlehem.
