10-Day Pilgrimage Tour to Italy
January 26–February 4, 2027
Dear Friends,
We would like to take this time to personally invite you to join us on a pilgrimage to Italy’s greatest cities and special places dear to Christian hearts! Our tour will begin in the beautiful Assisi, where we will walk in the footsteps of St. Francis, St. Clare, and the newly canonized St. Carlo Acutis. Visit the Holy House of Loreto and follow in the path of Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo. We’ll celebrate Mass at the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary in Pompeii, where miracles have been reported since the 1800’s.
We’ll arrive in Rome, the “Eternal City,” where we will tour the sites of ancient and Christian Rome, from the Catacombs to the Papal Basilicas and the Vatican Museums. Our Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica is sure to be a highlight of our time in Vatican City, as well as an audience with our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. Best of all, we will be celebrating our faith, forming deeper bonds of friendship, and enjoying the food and customs of another culture! There is nothing like sharing such experiences with friends and family in faith. Please consider joining us!
Fr. Brian Welding and Chaz Bowers
