Trip Highlights

Assisi
Welcome to Italy! Our trip begins with an overnight stay in Assisi. Here we’ll enter into the lives of Saint Francis and Saint Clare, walking in their footsteps and venerating their tombs. We’ll also pray at the body of soon-to-be-saint Carlo Acutis before journeying to the Eternal City – Rome!

St. Peter's Basilica
We’ll enjoy an entire day dedicated to St. Peter’s Basilica. After a guided tour of the basilica, we will go below ground to take part in the Scavi Tour. We’ll conclude our day with an opportunity to climb to the Cupola of St. Peter’s for an incredible view!

Catacombs & Papal Basilicas
Our third day in Rome will be spent praying at the Basilica of St. Mary Major, the Lateran, and the Catacombs of St. Sebastian. The following day, we’ll visit St. Paul Outside the Walls, the second largest Catholic church in the world and the burial site of St. Paul.

Papal Audience & Ancient Rome
Our last three days in Rome will be very full, starting with a Papal Audience and a tour of Vatican Museums. We’ll then enter into the Catholic Counter-Reformation while touring the Centro Storico, and conclude with the sites of Ancient Rome.
