Trip Highlights

Rome
This pilgrimage features four nights in the Eternal City. We will explore Rome’s greatest sites, from the tunnels of crypts and catacombs to the many ancient amphitheaters and early Christian saints and churches.

Vatican City
We will enter more deeply into the history and beauty of our Catholic Faith. Here in the Vatican City, we will experience the heart of the Church, the place of Saint Peter’s martyrdom and the seat of the Vicar of Christ, the Pope!

Papal Audience
We will also have the opportunity to participate in the Wednesday Audience with the Holy Father in Saint Peter’s Square. Seeing the Vicar of Christ on earth reminds us that Jesus is still with us in His Church!

Assisi
Our pilgrimage concludes with two nights in the Seraphic City, Assisi! We will explore this incredible medieval city, following in the footsteps of the great Sts. Francis and Clare, while also visiting the recently canonized St. Carlo Acutis.
