Meet the Chaplain for this pilgrimage:

Fr. Sean Grismer is a priest of the Diocese of Rockford in Illinois. He was ordained in 2016 and currently serves as Asst. Principal and Spiritual Director of Aurora Central Catholic High School. Fr. Sean first encountered the Holy Spirit on a silent retreat in 2010 and since then continues to grow in the deep love of Jesus Christ. He has a heart for the youth and desires each person to encounter the Holy Spirit and come to know Jesus Christ as friend and Lord.

What does the cost of the trip cover? 

Inheritance Pilgrimages is cut from the same cloth as Steve Ray’s well-known Footprints of God® Pilgrimages, but with budget friendly meals and accommodations aimed at more youthful travelers.

Our aim is similar: to keep your focus on the sights and spirituality of the Holy Land, and not on nickels and dimes along the way. We used our years of experience to put together a team in Israel to bring you an authentically Catholic and spiritually focused pilgrimage with trusted local guides and drivers.
