D Fly Archbishop Aquila to lead Holy Land pilgrimage Around the Archdiocese A rchbishop Samuel J. Aquila will be chaplain for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land Dec. 28-Jan. 6. The pil- grimage is run by Vocation Boom, a radio and TV show that encourages vocations to the priesthood. Vocation Boom founder and president Jerry Usher said that having Archbishop Aquila on the pilgrimage will help his ministry. "Our ministry focuses on priestly voca- tions, and I know that he is very dedicated to that, and so we were considering who would be a really dynamic person to have as a chaplain, and someone who loves vocations, and someone who would be a draw," Usher said. In addition, he said that the archbishop's familiarity with the Holy Land will also be a blessing for those on the pilgrimage. "He's been to the Holy Land many times. He knows the sites, and how to help people get the most out of visiting those sites. I also think that for those who come from the Archdiocese of Denver, it's going to be a special blessing. You don't typically get a lot of face time with your archbishop," Usher said. Vocation Boom began 25 years ago, when Usher and a friend started a newsletter for seminarians. Usher discerned out of semi- nary, but retained his desire to help promote priestly vocations. A few months before the Year for Priests, he decided to make his dreams a reality and started a radio show. He now has a TV show on EWTN. Arch- bishop Aquila has appeared on the Vocation Boom TV show twice this year. He has also appeared on the radio show. Usher said that the archbishop's dedi- cation to vocations makes him a natural ally for programs like Vocation Boom. "He's obviously got a lot of wisdom as an archbishop, and he's ultimately responsi- ble for promoting vocations and ordaining men to the priesthood. I know he's always promoted vocations," Usher said. The cost is $5,239. A full itinerary of the trip is available at the Vocation Boom website, http://www.vocationboom.com/ pilgrimage.
