  • So great to be able to share thru video all you are doing. Hearing Ft Willy say prayers; seeing my husband Deacon Hector on the altar; watching our dear friends Lorraine & Bill renew their vows. God speed!

    Greetings from Kalispell, Montana to our friends, Betty and Jim Rendahl. We’re so excited to see you in Steve’e video, although he’s pretty fast with the camera. Hard to believe you’re really there in the places where Jesus lived and it’s wonderful to see the videos and follow you on your trip. Looking forward to tomorrow! Love you, Pat & Andy Murphy

    I am leaving this comment under day 1, as day 2 comment section is not working. My daughter, Jessica Echeverry and her family is traveling with you. She said I could leave a prayer request. Today we just found out my boss has neck cancer. He is going in Thursday for a full body scan. He is very scared. He is Catholic. Please help me in praying for him. 3 children and a wife who has never worked. One of the nicest persons you would ever meet. I know God answers prayers. Help me make this a POWERFUL prayer. Thanks so much. God Bless you and love to my family. Safe travels. Thank you

    Wonderful to hear Bishop Vasa’s homilies and to witness John and Julie Schiemer renew their vows at Cana. Watching here with others at the Chancery office in Bend and praying for a safe journey and many blessings on your pilgrimage. Hello to Bishop, John and Julie!
