Trip Highlights

Rome
Our pilgrimage begins with seven nights in the Eternal City where we will explore our Catholic and Western heritage, immersing ourselves in the sacred churches, ancient monuments and Renaissance splendors of the Capital in the World.

Vatican City
We will enter more deeply into the history and beauty of our Catholic Faith. In the Vatican City, we’ll encounter the heart of the Church, the place of Saint Peter’s martyrdom and the seat of the Vicar of Christ! We’ll tour St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums.

Orvieto
We’ll depart Rome for a day trip to Orvieto, home to the Duomo of Orvieto, which serves as a solemn reliquary for the Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena. This Eucharistic Miracle is the first Church-approved Eucharistic Miracle and the impetus for the Feast of Corpus Christi!

Florence
Our pilgrimage finally concludes with three nights in the enchanting city of Florence. Here we will visit the Basilica and Monastery of San Marco, the famous Uffizi Gallery and the world-renowned Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s David!
