Spring has finally sprung!


Jonquils heralding Spring! I love Spring. Being able to open the windows allowing sweet breezes to refresh the house, jonquils and crocuses peeking up through the soil, and the cheery "tea-kettle-tea-kettle" song of the wrens setting up house on my back porch just makes me smile!
I want to get out and sing, garden, photograph, and marvel at God's creation as He renews the face of the earth! 

How about you? I'd love to know your thoughts. Click here to share!

Destination Highlight - Jerusalem, Israel

The Caenaculum - site of The Last Supper
 
The Room of the Last Supper - The Caenaculum. According to Christian tradition, already established during Byzantine times, Jesus and his disciples had their Passover Seder at this site on Mt. Zion during the last week of Jesus' life. The place also served Jesus' followers in their gatherings. A visit to the site today reveals a Romanesque Crusader structure with later renovations and the Muslim remains of a mosque. On the first floor is the traditional tomb of King David. Visit this site with us on our pilgrimage in September!
 
 

Fr. Puonnapati Invites You to Join Him in the Holy Land!

  

Rev. Lourdu Puonnapati
Rev. Puonnapati Elk City, OK

Dear Fellow Pilgrim, 

 

For some time I have dreamt of a pilgrimage with a group of people wanting to visit the Holy Land. Our September Pilgrimage will begin on Monday, September 1st, as we depart from Oklahoma City to Tel Aviv. Th-e days will be filled walking in the footsteps of Jesus and the early Christians. Being in the Holy Land will bring a new, and deeper meaning to Mass. Seeing these places makes everything more relevant and personal to you. Remembering how we walked in these places makes the Bible come alive. We will visit Caesarea, Nazaeth, Galilee, Cana, Jerusalem and many more places. You will feel the history of each of these places and re-live the sights and sounds of those times!


Feel free to look at the itinerary. You will see all of the great places we will see and experience. I hope you will certainly consider coming with us this year! It will be something you will never forget!


Looking forward to September,
Fr. Lourdu

Travel with Fr. James Goins to Sicily and Rome this Fall!

Buon Giorno!,

 

There is something about the Italian sun, a soothing quality to the light. Beneath it, the Italian landscape unfolds like a book of prayers. I invite you to step into that light with me. Come with me to Sicily and Rome in October of 2014 and experience the call of Italy. Together, we will journey to sea and shrine, in search of God's presence and the glorious history of our Catholic faith.

 

Sicily is an ancient and beautiful island. It is a pilgrimage I have long hoped to offer. I am convinced you will enjoy the scenery, the four star hotels, the award winning food, the wine, the company. And, as a pilgrim, there is something that God wants you to see

and experience in the many opportunities to pray. 

 

Ciao!

Father Jim Goins
