Pilgrimage to Italy 2024


Our Pilgrimage to Italy tours take you to the most important religious shrines and sacred sites in this beautiful country and cradle of the Catholic faith.

On our pilgrimage tours you will discover historic places of devotion across Italy, such as Saint Peter’s Square and the Vatican, the birthplace of Saint Francis in Assisi, the basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua and the shrine of Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo.

Travelling the country from the shores of Lake Garda and the Adriatic Sea to the mountains of Assisi and the magnificent squares of the Vatican and Rome, our pilgrimage to Italy tours bring you on a spiritual journey to the country of saints to admire its rich religious traditions, as well as its unique heritage, stunning cities and beautiful landscapes.

In addition to our scheduled departures throughout the year, we also work closely with many dioceses, parishes and private groups to design the perfect pilgrimage tour for their group.
