"I will start by saying that I had a blessed moment of grace in the cave at Sheppard’s field after Fr. John had led our prayer service and we were singing “Oh little town of Bethlehem.”   I had a sudden strong memory and sense of my dear husband Ken, who died two years ago, the strong message that he was praying for me, and had prayed for this much longed for trip to the holy land…..it as a holy moment and I cried there in Sheppard’s Cave, feeling so powerfully the strong love of God for me and that my husband Ken is very much alive with Him." --  Peggy

"[I am] a seasoned traveler, but this is my first pilgrimage and I find it very fulfilling spiritually.  Steps of Paul designed a lovely itinerary and handled the group beautifully.  To have celebrated mass at the home of the Blessed Mother was a highlight for me.  The tour guides were the best of the best.  The land transportation was superb, lovely busses!!    Bible interpretations excellent and the three spiritual leaders were studied and thorough regarding Paul and Peter’s travels.   Thank you for a fine idea which helped our Respect Life Ministry." -- Pat
