Are you longing to be on pilgrimage again?  Do you miss being able to travel?

I am thrilled to announce I will be leading my Rome Pilgrimage September 18–26, 2021.

After 15 months of international lockdowns, I’m excited that Rome has been welcoming international pilgrims again. My daughter, in fact, is there right now, and I myself will be leading a private tour there later this month.

I am also looking forward to this September pilgrimage to Rome, which is open to anyone interested.

  • Walk in Footsteps of Apostles, Saints, Popes & Martyrs
  • Historical Roots of our Catholic Faith
  • Learn “How to Read a Church”
  • Be Evangelized by Beauty
  • Time for Prayer at Sacred Sites
  • Mass in Catacombs & Basilicas
  • Teaching from Dr. Sri at the Holy Sites

Any Travel Restrictions?

At present, requirements for entering Italy without quarantine are minimal, involving simply taking a “Covid-tested” flight, which involves:

  • Proof of negative covid-test within 48 hours of departure from USA
  • Taking a covid-test after landing at the Rome airport
  • Vaccination NOT required

Dr. Edward Sri lived and studied in Rome and offers pilgrims a unique insider’s perspective on the Eternal City. With him personally guiding you through each site, the saints, churches and works of art will come alive powerfully and help you enter deeper into spiritual treasures of Christian Rome.

Watch Dr. Sri Describe the Pilgrimage to Rome

Travel in a Smaller Group: Experience More!

Many trips to Rome take place in large groups that are moved around in tour buses. But we travel in a small group, enabling us to walk the beautiful streets of Rome, enter more deeply into prayer and visit many more sites not on the typical tourist itinerary.

Go Deeper in Your Faith

Personal guided tours by Dr. Sri through each site make the churches, saints and art come alive for our faith today.

Stay Two Blocks from the Vatican

Pray at the tombs of the martyrs and saints who shaped our Catholic faith.
