$3660 per person, Land Only
This pilgrimage takes you through Northern Italy’s greatest Catholic cities over eleven days — Milan, Padua, Venice, Bologna, and Turin. You’ll pray at the tombs of Saint Dominic, Saint Anthony, and Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati, venerate the Holy Shroud, and see Leonardo’s Last Supper and Giotto’s frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel. Along the way, you’ll visit the shrine of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, the motherhouse of Saint John Bosco’s Salesians, and the thousand-year-old mountaintop abbey of Sacra di San Michele. There’s a day trip to Venice, a boat ride on Lake Maggiore, and time to wander through Verona and Bologna — two of the most beautiful cities in Italy. Mass is offered daily at pilgrimage churches. Four-star hotels, private motor-coach, and experienced Catholic guides throughout.
