A Catholic Pilgrimage to Sicily & Malta
November 7-18, 2026
$4982 per person, air-inclusive from IAD
Sicily and Malta together form one of the most extraordinary pilgrimage destinations in the entire Catholic world — two sun-drenched islands where the footsteps of the Apostles, the legacy of the Norman kings, and centuries of unbroken Catholic devotion have left a lasting impression. On this eleven-night journey, pilgrims will walk the streets of ancient Siracusa where St. Paul once preached, ascend the slopes of Mount Etna, marvel at the golden mosaics of Monreale, stand before the cave where the Apostle sheltered after his shipwreck on Malta, and pray in some of the most magnificent churches in Christendom. With daily Mass celebrated at sacred sites throughout the journey, four-star accommodations at every stop, and the expert guidance of ProRome Tours, this pilgrimage offers a rare and deeply enriching encounter with the ancient roots of the Faith in two of the Mediterranean’s most breathtaking destinations.

Trip Highlights

Palermo
We begin our pilgrimage in Sicily’s magnificent capital. Visits include the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia on Monte Pellegrino, the Abbey of Monreale with its breathtaking Byzantine mosaics, and the Palatine Chapel — the dazzling private royal chapel of Sicily’s Norman kings.

Agrigento & Siracusa
We travel south to Agrigento’s legendary Valley of the Temples before continuing to ancient Siracusa. Here we visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Tears, the ancient Crypt of St. Marcian, and explore the enchanting island of Ortigia with its cathedral built over a Greek temple to Athena.

Mt. Etna & Taormina
Pilgrims ascend Europe’s highest active volcano — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — for sweeping views across Sicily and the Mediterranean. We then descend to Taormina, jewel of the Sicilian coastline, where the ancient Greek Theater offers one of the most spectacular backdrops in the ancient world.

Malta
Crossing by ferry to the ancient island nation of Malta, we visit St. Paul’s Grotto in Rabat, the Mosta Rotunda, St. Paul’s Bay, and the beloved Mellieħa Sanctuary of Our Lady. We also explore Valletta’s magnificent St. John’s Co-Cathedral — home to Caravaggio’s masterwork — and the sacred Three Cities of the Knights of St. John.
