10-Day Pilgrimage to Greece & Ephesus with a 3-Day Aegean Cruise

Led by Fr. Kevin McManaman, Pastor

September 8–17, 2025


Dear Friends,

I am happy to announce an exciting pilgrimage to Greece and Ephesus, where we will reflect on the life and journeys of St. Paul. In Athens, Ephesus, and Corinth, we will consider his bold mission before cultures rich in history, science, the arts, politics, and religious practices. In Ephesus, we will pray at the “House of Mary.” On the island of Patmos, we will visit the site where St. John experienced an extraordinary vision in which he was directed to write down his experiences as the Book of Revelation.

Our three-day Greek Islands cruise, including visits to the beautiful islands of Mykonos and Santorini, will bring us through the deep blue and tranquil waters of the Aegean Sea. The voyage will offer time for recreation, reflection, and the enjoyment of the beauty of nature.

Join us on this unique pilgrimage of discovery, faith, reflection, and celebration! May the experiences of St. Paul, St. John, all the early saints whose memories we shall encounter, and, of course the grace-filled “yes” of the Virgin Mary, inflame our hearts with a greater desire to bear witness to the presence of the crucified and risen Jesus in our world!

Rev. Kevin McManaman
