Trip Highlights

Rome
This trip features six full days 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 churches.

Vatican City
Our guesthouse in Rome – located next to Vatican City – will give us easy access to the heart of the Church, the place of Saint Peter’s martyrdom and the seat of the Vicar of Christ, the Pope.

Orvieto
Our pilgrimage features a day-trip to Orvieto, home to one of Europe’s finest Gothic cathedrals, the Duomo of Orvieto, which serves as a solemn reliquary for the Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena.

Assisi
Our pilgrimage to Italy comes to an end in the Seraphic City, Assisi! For two and a half days we will explore this incredible medieval city, following in the footsteps of the great Saints Francis and Clare.
