Cusco, ancient capital of the Incas.
The early morning finds you at Lima’s Jorge Chavez International Airport for transport to the ancient Inca capital city of Cusco. Start your Inca tour by visiting Awanakancha, a living museum of Andean camelids (llamas, alpacas, vicuñas). Then, visit the famous Pisac market as you travel through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Spend a morning at the community of Huilloc where ancient Inca customs are still alive. You will also visit a rural school. (Small school supplies will be welcomed as a donation!) Participate in the Kusi Runa, as you experience how the Andean men (“runa”) live their daily agricultural life, wearing the typical Huilloc poncho and using traditional tools. The activity ends with a spiritual moment expressed through local dance and music. Then, enjoy a delicious home-cooked Andean lunch with local products harvested in traditional and sustainable ways. Later, visit the ancient ruins of Ollantaytambo.

On the way back to Cusco you will be able to visit the spectacular ruined fortress of Sacsayhuaman and the vestiges of Puka Pukara, Tambomachay and Qenquo.

Huascaran, the country’s highest snow peak.
On the way through the valley, visit the picturesque towns of Carhuaz, Caraz, Recuay and the national shrine of Yungay, where, it is said, the “Christ Child of the Andes” lived and walked before perishing in the avalanche of 1962. A later avalanche of 1970 sealed the town as a memorial for all time. Spend the day walking and reflecting on the messages of The Child.

Each week of the liturgical year, a reading from Second Advent Scripture is delivered as part of the Saturday Communion of Fellowship Service held in the Chapel of the Holy Child. This reading follows the Sacred Calendar of the Church; that is, Prophecies and Revelations that have been received by The Church on sacred dates are recalled in a liturgical context during the appropriate season each year. This reading is delivered by the Officiant of the Communion Service (that is, Bishop Gene Savoy, or occasionally in his stead, Bishop Sean Savoy) just before the final blessings. Each service also includes a reading from the ancient scriptures, prayers, or wisdom sayings of various world religions past and present and is usually thematically related to the Second Advent Reading. This reading is delivered by the Reader right after the announcements that begin the service and is thus the first reading of the service. An audio recording of the reading from Second Advent Scripture delivered on the date above is provided here below together with a transcript of the first reading of the service that day.
