Fr. Sean & Jim Caviezel in the Holy Land

Just about a year ago, I was out during the day and received a message on my phone, "Do you want to go the Holy Land with Jim Caviezel?" For those who do not know, Jim Caviezel is the actor that played Jesus in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. I assumed this was a prank, however, when I returned to the rectory, I saw a note in my mailbox with a number to call. I called the number and realized 206 Tours had contacted me. They asked if I would be able to be a spiritual director on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Naturally, as any good son would do, I called my mother to see if she wanted to go. She asked my aunt and uncle, and now, this trip became a family affair. Additionally, Patricia Ahrens, a parishioner here at St. Patrick’s attended.
