10-Day Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

Led by Michael J.L. La Civita, K.G.C.H.S., Lieutenant
Fr. Matthew Brody, K.H.S., Spiritual Director

June 1–10, 2026

Dear Knights and Dames of the Holy Sepulchre,

After two long years, we are returning to the Holy Land. The holy sites are open, and the Christian community has long been waiting to welcome pilgrims back.

WThe Eastern Lieutenancy will embark on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, June 1–10, 2026. We go in support of our Christian brothers & sisters and in solidarity with the church in the Holy Land. We would like to extend this very special invitation to you, your friends, and family. Come and walk with us in the footsteps of Jesus. Come see the place of His Annunciation and birth. Come and walk the Way of the Cross sharing in His Passion. Come and pray at the Holy Sepulchre, the Empty Tomb of our Risen Lord!

The Gospels will come alive for us as we visit, pray, and celebrate the Eucharist at the places held most sacred to Christians. We fully expect this pilgrimage to be one of the most spiritually uplifting experiences of our lives.

Knights and Dames who make this pilgrimage will have the opportunity to receive the pilgrim’s shell. We pray our return and presence will once again strengthen the Church and the Christian community.
