Dear St. Charles Family and All Friends in Christ,

On Sunday, February 5, with a group of about 20 priests, I will set out for an 8-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land to pray and to spend time reflecting on the profound mystery of the Incarnation. Here, in this place, is where the Word became flesh and dwelt among us! We will walk and pray in the same places that Jesus walked and prayed and manifested God’s love to the world through his ministry, passion, death, and resurrection. I will bring all of you with me in my heart and invite you to share with me your prayer intentions. The intentions will be placed on the altar at all the sites where we will celebrate Mass: Mount Carmel, Nazareth, the Mount of the Beatitudes, the Mount of the Transfiguration, Bethlehem, the Basilica of the Agony in the Garden, and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Please email me any prayer requests at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I will be posting photos and commentary during the pilgrimage at fr-forlano.blogspot.com. I ask for your prayers for safe travel and return and look forward to sharing the fruits of this experience with you all!

Sincerely in Christ,
