Pilgrimage to Rome & Assisi
Italy is a land steeped in faith and history, offering pilgrims an unforgettable journey through some of the most sacred sites in the Catholic world. In Assisi, you’ll walk the same streets where St. Francis and St. Clare embraced lives of humility, prayer, and service, and visit the tomb of St. Carlo Acutis. From there, travel through the Umbrian mountains to La Verna, where St. Francis received the stigmata, and to Norcia, birthplace of Sts. Benedict and Scholastica. In Rome, the heart of the Church, stand in St. Peter’s Square for the Papal Audience, explore the treasures of the Vatican Museums, and pray at St. Peter’s Basilica and the tomb of the Apostle himself. Discover the ancient Catacombs, the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, and the great papal basilicas of St. John Lateran and St. Mary Major. Pilgrims will also visit the relics of the Passion at Santa Croce, climb the Holy Stairs in prayer, and enjoy quiet reflection in Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence overlooking Lake Albano. Every step of this pilgrimage immerses you in the beauty of the Italian countryside, the richness of her sacred history, and the witness of saints who shaped the faith.
We are confident that this pilgrimage will inspire your heart and strengthen your faith in unforgettable ways. Come, experience Italy through the lives of her saints, and discover the timeless treasures of our Catholic heritage!
