Pilgrimage Highlights

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

Orvieto
We’ll take 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!

Castel Gandolfo
We will also have the unique opportunity to enjoy an afternoon excursion to Castel Gandolfo, the traditional summer residence of the Holy Father. Here we will tour the Papal Palace and Gardens overlooking the volcanic Lake Albano.

Genazzano
From Castel Gandolfo, we proceed to the nearby town of Genazzano. Here we’ll pray at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Good Counsel, a very important Marian pilgrimage site as it was built around a miraculous fresco of the Madonna who appeared in 1467.
