Tucked away in the Calvados region of Normandy is the small town of Lisieux. This little site in the Northwest of France could be easily overlook by visitors if it had not been for one person, St. Thérèse, sometimes called “The Little Flower of Jesus”.  I shared in a...

The miracle of Jesus turning water into wine is recorded in only one of the four Gospels, yet John’s story is often pointed to as a defining moment in Jesus’ public ministry and a sign of his power. Today, we visit Cana, in Galilee, to learn about the site of that first miracle.

For any group (or individual) visiting England, and flying into London’s Heathrow Airport, I would strongly suggest making the short drive to Windsor. Located just under 10 minutes out from Heathrow, Windsor is a great historical treasure and a perfect place to start adjusting to the time difference. With its quaint city center, proximity to Eaton, and famous castle, I think you’ll want to make it a part of your arrival day routine, as well.

Today, we visit the beautiful Mediteranean city of Barcelona. Although there are many things to do and see in the city, the focus of this blog will be on the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia (or Basilica of the Holy Family).

Today, we travel a little over 30 miles from Edinburgh, to the town of St. Andrews. While the town is most well-known for something I’ll share later, St Andrew’s is a very significant religious site, as is the Cathedral that bears the name. St. Andrew’s Cathedral was not only the most important pilgrimage sites in medieval Scotland, but one of the most important in the world! Today, its impressive ruins are as much a draw as the famous golf course.

Yesterday we journeyed Edinburgh, and today we travel to a nearby and very important site, Stirling. Located nearly equal distance from Edinburgh and Glasgow, Stirling is a more obscure sight not everyone has heard of, and surely not visited. If you do get a chance to...

If any of you know me, you knew it wouldn’t be long before I started writing about Scotland. Of all the places I’ve lived, Edinburgh is, by far, my favorite. Sir Walter Scott once called the city “yon Empress of the North.” And, what is an Empress without a crown. Today, we’ll visit St. Giles’ Cathedral, the crown jewel of Edinburgh.

Alleluia! Christ is risen! Easter has come! We celebrated in many different ways this year. For most of us, we watched one or more video broadcasts or livestreams from our local church or from churches around the country. We went on about our day with as much normalcy as we could muster. But, Easter isn’t just a day that only comes once a year.
