On May 24-26, 2014 Pope Francis will be making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. With our historic connection to the region, Franciscans are encouraged to take this opportunity to walk in solidarity with our Holy Father and all the peoples of the Holy Land. Solidarity is not just an emotional feeling of connection; it is also a commitment to justice and addressing the root causes of violence.
