Our very own Deacon Greg Kandra was one of several religious writers and journalists who journeyed to Amman, Jordan, at the invitation of the Jordan Tourism Board, to experience the country firsthand over 10 days. He has shared the links to all of his blog posts, photographs and videos (and the occasional selfie) that tell the story of his experiences with people, places and a culture 6,000 miles away from our home parish here in Queens.
