Trip to Science Museum of Minnesota...
...to explore the greatest archaeological find of the 20th century-the Dead Sea Scrolls, which include the earliest known texts of the Bible. These 2,000-year-old, authentic text fragments are steeped in religious, historic, and cultural significance. Visitors will also experience a gallery devoted to The Saint John's Bible, the newest hand-scribed illustrated Bible.

Our afternoon will be at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis. Following a guided tour we will celebrate mass in the St. Joseph's chapel.
