Day 04 After breakfast, departure with the tour leader and the private bus for a guided tour of the most important Roman Basilicas. Meeting with a local guide and visit of St. John Lateran’s Basilica, trait d’union between pagan and Christian eras. Originally born as a building for public meetings and justice administration, it later became a majestic cle- rical structure suitable for receiving a great number of worshippers. Quick stop at the near Scala Sancta. The Scala San- cta are, according to the Christian tradition, the steps that led up to the praetorium of Pontius Pilate in Jeru- salem, which Jesus Christ stood on during his Passion on his way to trial. The stairs were brought to Rome in 326 B.C. Visit of Santa Maria Maggiore Church, the most im- portant among the ones dedicated to the Virgin Mary and undoubtedly the best preserved one. San Giovanni in Laterano It is located at the top of the Esquilino hill and it is the only one that still keeps its early Christian structure, even though it has been renovated a few times. Finally, visit of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls, one of Rome’s four ancient papal basilicas and the biggest af- ter St. Peter’s Basilica. According to the tradition, it was built on the burial place of Saint Paul. The first worshippers built a sepulchral chapel which later became a real Basilica and one of the most impor- tant stops for pilgrims. The present aspect is due to Pasquale Belli who, together with other architects, rebuilt it between 1825 and 1854. Day 05 After breakfast, departure with the tour leader and the private bus to reach the centre of Rome for a guided walking tour. Fontana di Trevi First stop with the bus: Santa Maria in Trastevere Square, one of the most beautiful squares in Rome. It has two different souls: it is quiet during the day -with its 15th century fountain, the 16th century San Cal- listo Palace and the wonderful Basilica of Our Lady in Trastevere- while it is and full of life during the night with tables scattered along the streets and crowds of people sitting on the fountain’s steps. Second stop with the bus: Piazzale Flaminio, from where you will start your walking tour. Il Babuino, Via Ripetta and Via del Corso -the main streets of the historical centre- finally meet each other in Piazza del Popolo. Great example of the Renaissance papal patronage and ancient siege of games, fairs, popular shows and capital punishment, it is one of the most popular squares in the world. The twin-churches of Santa Maria di Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli, the Flaminio Obelisk (the oldest and the highest in Rome) together with the two fountains made by Valadier give their contribution to the fascinating ambience of the square. Get to see the well-known Piazza di Spagna and the Church of the Santissima Trinità dei Monti. The walking tour will finally lead you to the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Basilica of Sant’Andrea della Valle. Return to the hotel by private bus and overnight stay. Day 06 After breakfast, departure with the tour leader and the private bus to Assisi. Piazza del Popolo On the way to Assisi you will have the opportunity to stop at a local farm for a small lunch with tasting session of olive oil, the main product of Umbria.

    My journey continues... Written by: Gail Nampel You may remember during the fall of 2014, I shared that I was excited to be on a stewardship journey and invited anyone that felt called, to join me. Recently, my journey took me to Italy and I’m thrilled and honored to share the experience with you. This past December, while doing some work on my computer, I received an email from Mountain Bu- torac ‘The Catholic Traveler’ announcing that he was offering “A Low Season” pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. A one-week, all-inclusive pilgrimage that included daily Mass at destinations like The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, The Pontifical North American College. Plus, we’d step through six sets of Holy Doors, tour the Basilicas of St. Clare, St Mary Major, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. John Lateran, the Vatican Museum, attend the Pope’s General Audience on Ash Wednesday, take the Scavi Tour, climb The Holy Stairs at the Chapel Volume of2, IssueSan Lorenzo3 and much, much, more! – This trip was being offered to the first sixteen people that replied…for a price that was FAR less than one might expect! What was there to think about? I’ve been wanting to do this for so long and finally had the opportunity! I immediately replied with a HUGE affirmative! I’m in! I’m going! My fellow pilgrims and I landed at the airport in Rome on Sunday, February 7th at 10:30 AM, boarded a bus and headed to the incredibly picturesque city of Assisi, situated in the slopes of Mount Subasio.

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

  • In the Footsteps of Blessed Pope John XXIII: a Pilgrimage of Renewal & Hope
    In The Footsteps of Blessed Pope John XXIII: A Pilgrimage of Renewal & Hope 10 days / 8 nights The Second Vatican Council, 1962-65, has been called the “greatest religious event of the Twentieth Century” (Blessed Pope John Paul II). Yet few Catholics have read the Council’s documents or understand its vision balancing renewal (aggiornamento) with Living Tradition. For most Catholics, Vatican II remains “The Greatest Story NEVER Told!” Stand in the light of this great Council by walking in the footsteps of its visionary and Spirit-filled architect, Blessed Pope John XXIII. From his humble beginnings on the northern Lombard plains of Italy to his unprecedented ecumenical Council, walk with Blessed John XXIII and consider how the renewal of Faith in your life and in our parish should continue today! Day 1: Departure from the USA The best preparation for the new millennium can only be expressed in a renewed commitment to apply as faithfully as possible, the teachings of Vatican II to the life of every individual and of the whole Church. (Tertio Millenio Adveniente) Our pilgrimage begins with an overnight flight to Milan, Italy. Day 2: Arrival to Milan What a wonder it is! So grand, so solemn, so vast! And yet so delicate, so airy, so graceful! (Mark Twain describing the Milan Duomo from Innocents Abroad). We begin this morning with a guided tour of Milan, Italy's business hub and a great draw to many throughout history, from St. Ambrose and Leonardo da Vinci, to the waves of immigrants who fueled its growth in the second half of the 20th century.
