Trip Highlights

Rome
Rome is the greatest city in the world. On this pilgrimage we are going to unravel this statement and explore our Catholic and Western heritage for six days, immersing ourselves in the sacred churches, ancient monuments and Renaissance splendors of the Eternal City.

Vatican City
The Vatican is the heart of the Catholic Faith. We’ll explore in depth this ancient and sacred place, from the underground Scavi Tour, to Bernini’s Basilica, and through the magnificent Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. We will see the Vicar of Christ on Earth – the Pope!

Assisi
Our pilgrimage to Italy comes to an end in the Seraphic City, Assisi! For two days we will explore this heavenly place and follow in the footsteps of some of history’s greatest saints, such as St. Francis, St. Clare and Saint Carlo Acutis. These forbearers of ours put aside the things of this world and pursued God with everything they had.

Loreto
On our last day of pilgrimage we will enjoy a day trip to the beautiful town of Loreto. Here we will visit and pray at the Holy House of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Loreto. We will then return to Assisi for our last night in Italy and a free evening.
