A Conference Like No Other!!!
On July 11 and 12, the 4th annual Called to Lead Conference hosted by Dr. Tim Gray, Sarah Christmyer and myself and held at the Diocese of Metuchen Pastoral Center, saw over 160 people come together on fire to further their training in how to bring the Word of God to others through The Great Adventure Bible Study programs. From the moment the conference began Friday morning, it was evident that this was a Catholic conference like no other! The deep sense of community and fellowship was ever present, and the work of the Holy Spirit palpable. Celebrating the opening Mass on the Feast of St. Benedict, Bishop Bootkoski did an excellent job inspiring us to read and meditate on the Sacred Scriptures and Dr. Tim Gray’s Keynote address, Scripture in the Life of the Church, beautifully followed the Bishop’s message and set the tone for the conference.

Greetings From the Holy Land!
Hello Friends & Family!! We have arrived safely in the Holy Land and all the pilgrims are healthy. We spent three days touring the Galilee area with mass in Nazareth, Capernaum and the Mount of Transfiguration. Israel is experiencing a heat wave topping at 107 degrees, but we managed to keep cool by rafting in the Jordan river and swimming in a natural springs at the base of Mt. Gilboa. This morning we visited a site called Kefar Kedem, where we went back 2000 years and experienced life as it was during Jesus’ time. Adults and children alike dressed in first century clothing and got a taste of life back then by riding donkeys, milking goats and making cheese. In the evening we arrived in Jerusalem, and are now looking forward to several more days in Jerusalem. On the itinerary for tomorrow we will have mass at the Garden of Gethsemene, visit the Mt. of Olives and conclude the day with a visit to Bethlehem.
