Our journey today is with the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. Come along with Mary Jane Fox and her guests, members of this organization, Dennis Alvey, KGCHS, and Barbara Alvey, DGCHS. This papal order dates back to the time of the Crusades. It is the only lay institution of the Vatican State charged with the task of providing for the needs of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and of all the activities and initiatives to support the Christian presence in the Holy Land.

On today’s journey, you will:

• Hear the story of how this Order began during the time of the Crusades.
• Learn what each member is committed to and what they do to help the Church in the Holy Land stay alive.
• Be inspired by what they represent and do in the name of all Catholic Christians.

Jewel for the Journey:

“Making the Holy Land known means transmitting the ‘Fifth Gospel,’ that is, the historical environment and geographical area in which the Word of God was revealed and then made flesh in Jesus of Nazareth, for us and for our salvation.” - Pope Francis (Apostolic Palace on Jan. 17)

We are so grateful to this month’s sponsor, Deanna Villarreal, who made this podcast episode possible.
