Trip Highlights

Assisi & Loreto
We begin our pilgrimage with a visit to the Serpahic City, Assisi! Here we will walk in the footsteps of the great Sts. Francis and Clare, venerating their relics and asking for their intercession. We will also enjoy a day trip to the Holy House of Loreto

Cascia & Norcia
We will then travel to the towns of Cascia and Norcia, where we will venerate the incorrupt body of St. Rita and visit the Benedictine Monastery of Norcia. Afterwards, we will return to our home base in Assisi for the evening.

San Giovanni
We continue to Lanciano and then San Giovanni Rotondo, home to the incorrupt body of St. Padre Pio. We conclude with a visit to the Sanctuary of St Michael before journeying to the Amalfi Coast and finally Pompeii.

Rome
Leaving Pompeii, we head northwest towards Rome, stopping at Monte Cassino along the way. Our pilgrimage will culminate with three days in the Eternal City and a day trip to the Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena in Orvieto.
