Rome
This pilgrimage features six nights in the Eternal City. We will explore Rome’s greatest sites, from the tunnels of crypts and catacombs to the many ancient amphitheaters and early Christian saints and churches.

Vatican City
We then will enter more deeply into the history and beauty of our Catholic Faith. Here in the Vatican City, we will experience the heart of the Church, the place of Saint Peter’s martyrdom and the seat of the Vicar of Christ, the Pope!

Orvieto & Assisi
Our pilgrimage continues with a visit to Assisi, stopping in along the way to venerate the Eucharistic Miracle of Orvieto. We will explore this incredible medieval city, following in the footsteps of the great Sts. Francis and Clare.

We’ll conclude our pilgrimage with a visit to Siena, a medieval city in Tuscany famous for its wine, horse races and most importantly, its saints and miracles. Here we will enter into the life and writings of St. Catherine of Siena.
