Father Tatman has agreed to accompany the pilgrimage June 16-27 June, departing from Miami.
The pilgrimage is open to anyone, not just IPT students or Ave Maria residents.
Arrangements for the trip have been made by Tekton Ministries, who work on behalf of the Franciscan Foundation for the Holy Land (www.tektonministries.org or email pilgrimage@tektonministries.
