Some of us show an interest in our "family tree" by researching the origins of our family, or as far back as we can go.  I know someone in my family was able to trace our family (my dad's side) back to the 1700's.  As impressive as that is, it is even more amazing that ALL OF US (who are Christians) can trace our origins back 2,000 years to Jesus Christ.  I will be blessed to join about 25 or our parishioners, under the leadership of our tour director Fran Boudreaux, to the Holy Land November 9-18.  We will literally walk in the footsteps of Jesus and His apostles at a number of holy sites. Please keep us in your prayers in our travels and know that you will be in our prayers.
