Trip Highlights

Assisi
Our pilgrimage begins with two nights in the Seraphic City, Assisi! We will explore this incredible medieval city, following in the footsteps of the great Sts. Francis and Clare, and praying at the tomb of the soon to be canonized, Carlo Acutis!

Rome
Our pilgrimage continues with seven 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!

Papal Audience
We will finally conclude our last day of pilgrimage with our participation in the Papal Audience in St. Peter’s Square! Here we will encounter our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, and receive his blessing for ourselves and loved ones.
