Archbishop urges young people to join him on Holy Land pilgrimage

Archbishop Paul Cremona.

Archbishop Paul Cremona this morning urged young people to join him on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land between July 5 and 13.

He said at a press conference that the pilgrimage was specifically aimed at young people, the idea having stemmed from another pilgrimage to the Holy Land he made last year.

The experience, he said, would help the young to learn more about God and the Gospel and strengthen their faith.

There are places for 160 participants for the all inclusive price of €795 each.

The pilgrimage will visit Nazareth, Galilee, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley and the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, among other places.

Arcisqof...this is the credit crunch dear! People are finding it hard to make ends meet, let alone going on holiday to Israel!!!! That's more than a month's salary for many people. What if the church fought in order to obtain better salaries for our workers?
