AMS HOLY LAND PILGRIMAGE
November 3-13, 2010
(Registration deadline - September 1, 2010)

Join Anthony Buono and other AMS members on our 2nd trip to the Holy Land.

Our chaplain for this trip is Fr. Timothy Castor of the Diocese of Rapid City, SD.  Father was with us in 2008 and enriched the trip significantly with his vast knowledge of the Holy Land.  Father lived in Jerusalem while attending colledge there.  Our guide will be local and extremely knowledgable , and Fr. Castor will be able to present the "Catholic" perspective at each place.  He will be celebrating Mass everyday, hearing confessions, and available for the spiritual needs of our group.

The entire trip is put together by Consolidated Tours, run by a family who have an office in Israel.  They do an amazing job in every way.   Consolidated Tours is the official pilgrimage company of Fr. Mitch Pacwa for his Holy Land trips. So this trip is top notch, from the fantastic itinerary to the incredible price.  And because of their connections, we get some really special unique things other groups do not get.  My personal favorite is Mass celebrated in the Garden of Gethsemene, which is owned by a friend of the owner of Consolidated Tours.   

LIMITED SPACE
We have two buses to fill up, which means space for (98) people.  So if you are inspired to attend, get your deposit and registration in right away. Bring a travel partner with you, if you like. Invite other AMS members to travel with you. Make the most of this opportunity!
