Shrines of Italy

May 17–26, 2027

Discover the extraordinary Catholic heritage of Italy on a ten-day pilgrimage through some of the Church's most beloved and historically significant destinations. From the magnificent basilicas of Rome to the peaceful streets of Assisi, this journey offers an opportunity to experience the places where countless saints lived, prayed, and helped shape the history of our faith.

Your pilgrimage begins in Rome, with planned visits to St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Holy Stairs, and other important Catholic landmarks. The itinerary also includes an opportunity to attend a papal audience, subject to the Holy Father's schedule.

In Assisi, you'll also have an opportunity to visit the tomb of St. Carlo Acutis.

Along the way, the journey includes stops at Monte Cassino, Monte Sant'Angelo, Lanciano, Loreto, and Orvieto, each offering its own connection to Catholic history and tradition.

Fatima, Spain & Lourdes

September 6–15, 2027

Journey through Portugal, Spain, and France on a ten-day pilgrimage that brings you to two of the world's most cherished Marian shrines. From Fatima, where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in 1917, to Lourdes, where Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette in 1858, this journey offers opportunities for prayer, reflection, and devotion to the Blessed Mother.

Beginning in Lisbon, your travels take you through Santarem, known for its Eucharistic Miracle, before arriving in Fatima. Here, pilgrims from around the world gather to honor Our Lady of Fatima and reflect on her messages of prayer, conversion, and peace. Continue into Spain, visiting historic cities and religious destinations including Salamanca, Alba de Tormes, Avila, Burgos, and Loyola, places associated with saints such as St. Teresa of Avila and St. Ignatius of Loyola.

The pilgrimage concludes with several days in Lourdes, France, at the renowned Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. Throughout the journey, you'll have opportunities to attend daily Mass, visit beautiful churches, and experience places that have inspired generations of Catholics. Together with fellow pilgrims, you'll discover the spiritual significance and rich Catholic heritage of these remarkable destinations.

Medjugorje

October 19–27, 2027

Experience Medjugorje, a small town in Bosnia and Herzegovina that has become a destination for Catholics from around the world seeking prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal. Known for reports of Marian apparitions that began in 1981, Medjugorje has developed into an important center of Catholic pilgrimage, welcoming visitors who come to deepen their faith and spend time in prayer.

Unlike a traditional sightseeing tour that moves from city to city, this nine-day pilgrimage allows you to spend an extended period in Medjugorje. With seven nights in the town, you'll have opportunities to experience its prayerful atmosphere, attend daily Mass, and participate in spiritual activities alongside fellow pilgrims. The itinerary also includes a visit to Community Cenacolo, a Catholic community founded to help individuals overcome addiction and personal difficulties through faith, friendship, and a renewed way of life.

Whether you're visiting Medjugorje for the first time or returning to a place that has become meaningful in your spiritual life, this pilgrimage offers time away from everyday distractions to focus on prayer, strengthen your relationship with God, and enjoy the fellowship of others who share your Catholic faith.
