Trip Highlights
A Papal Audience in St. Peter's Square, the Scavi Tour of St. Peter's Basilica, and the Vatican Museums are included, as are visits to the tombs of Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Francis, Saint Clare, Blessed Carlo Acutis, Saint Peter, Saint Paul and so many more.
St. Paul Outside the Walls
Welcome to Rome! Our trip begins with a visit to St. Paul Outside the Walls, the second largest Catholic church in the world and the burial site of St. Paul. After our tour, we will check into our religious guesthouse, the CIAM. We will conclude the day with an evening walk to St. Peter’s Square.
St. Peter's Basilica
We will enjoy an entire day dedicated to St. Peter’s Basilica. After a guided tour of the magnificent basilica, we will go below ground to take part in the Scavi Tour. We will conclude our day with an opportunity to climb to the Cupola of St. Peter’s for perhaps the best view in all of Rome!
St. Mary Major & Assisi
Our third day in Rome will be spent praying at the Basilica of St. Mary Major, the Lateran, and the Catacombs. The following day, we’ll depart for Assisi, where we’ll enter into the lives of Sts. Francis and Clare, and venerate their tombs. We’ll pray at the incorrupt body of Bl. Carlo Acutis before returning to Rome.
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. Then we will enter into the Catholic Counter-Reformation while touring the Centro Storico. Finally we’ll finish with Ancient Rome, visiting the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
