Join Dr. Carole Brown with Fr. Jacob Boddicker, SJ

Embark on a transformative nine-day spiritual pilgrimage through the sacred heart of Italy, a journey designed to deepen your faith and renew your soul. Following in the footsteps of apostles and saints, you will experience the profound grace of a Papal Audience in St. Peter's Square, pray before the priceless relics of Christ's Passion, and venerate the holy tombs of St. Peter, St. Paul, and St. Francis of Assisi. From the quiet sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto to the peaceful resting place of the first millennial saint, Blessed Carlo Acutis, each day offers a sacred tapestry of daily communal Mass, guided reflection, and quiet moments for personal prayer. This is more than a tour—it is a deeply moving encounter with the living history of our faith, culminating in a beautiful celebration of fellowship and creation at the Borgo Laudato Si’ eco-village in Castel Gandolfo.
