We start out by talking about the Brookland neighborhood, and Washington, DC as a pilgrimge town. After arriving at the monastery we talk about some of the history of the monastery, and why it is called the "Commissariat of the Holy Land in America".

We head inside the church, talk about it's history, and the tour of the church and the replicas of the various holy land shrines.

We go out into the gardens, and walk along the rosary portico, then visit the shrines in the garden.
