SAMPLE DAILY ITINERARY

Day 1, Monday, September 17: Depart for Rome

Make your way to your local airport, where you will board your overnight flight (s). Your meals

will be served on board.

Day 2, Tuesday, September 18: Arrival in Rome

Welcome to Rome, also known as, "The Eternal City." Upon arrival at Rome airport, collect your

luggage in the baggage claim area, and continue to the arrivals hall, where you will be greet-

ed by a tour escort and/or driver. You will make your way to the bus and transfer to your hotel.

Following check-in, you will have free time to unpack and relax, or explore Rome on your own.

Peter's Square as a group, for the Rosary (optional).

Day 3, Wednesday, September 19: Rome: Papal Audience - Basilica of St. John the Lateran -

After a nice breakfast at your hotel, your first sightseeing day in Rome starts! The tour begins with

the Papal Audience in St. Peter's Square! The Audience is celebrated each Wednesday by His

Holiness, Pope Francis (pending the papal schedule). Following the Audience, there will be free

time for lunch, or shop, or mail a postcard from the Vatican Post Office. This afternoon you will

visit the oldest of the four major basilicas in Rome, and the home to the relics of Peter and Paul,

the Basilica of St. John the Lateran. This Basilica is where Pope Francis was installed as Bishop of

Rome, and where he officiates as the Bishop of Rome. Next, we will cross the street to visit the

Holy Staircase. Tradition states that this staircase is from Pontius Pilate's palace of Jerusalem

during the time of Jesus. It is also said that this Staircase was brought to Rome by St. Helen in the

4th century. If time permits, you may climb the steps on your knees, in memory of Christ's agoniz-

ing Passion. To conclude your day, we will proceed to the Basilica of St. Mary Major. This Basilica

contains a relic from the Manger of the Infant Jesus. Return to the hotel for dinner and

This morning you will enjoy an early breakfast before making your way to the largest Christen-

dom Church, St. Peter's Basilica. This Basilica was built on the site where St. Peter, the first Pope

and Bishop of Rome, was martyred. Also, it was Our Holy Father, Pope Francis who was the first

Pontiff to visit the necropolis since extensive archaeological excavations were conducted at the

ancient site decades ago. It is here that you will view Michelangelo's Pieta. This stunning marble

sculpture depicts the Virgin Mary holding Christ after His crucifixion, death, and removal off the

cross before being placed in the tomb. Continue to proceed to the Vatican Museums. At the

world-renowned museum, you will see the most impressive of edifices, galleries, and awe-

inspiring relics. Additionally, you will observe the Tapestry Gallery, Raphael Rooms, Sistine

Chapel, and Michelangelo's Masterpiece, the restored mural of the Last Judgment. The final

This road leads to the Domino Quo Vadis Chapel, the Baths of Caracalla, the Arch of Drusus, the

Tomb of Cecilia Metella, and the catacombs of St. Callixtus. The day concludes with a visit to

the hotel for overnight.

Day 5, Friday, September 21: Rome - Monte Cassino - San Giovanni Rotondo

Following breakfast, you will board your bus to enjoy the scenic route to Montecassino. Passing

by Saint Benedict around 530 A.D. Following the tour, there will be an opportunity to visit the gift

shop, before we board the bus to continue toward San Giovanni Rotondo, the hometown of

Saint Padre Pio. Upon arrival in San Giovanni Rotondo, you will check-in, enjoy dinner in the

Day 6, Saturday, September 22: San Giovanni Rotondo

*Today, St. Padre Pio celebrated his last Mass

This morning, after breakfast we will visit the Old Church. After Mass we will tour the sanctuary, it

is here you will view the crucifix, in front of which St. Pio received the stigmata. Visit the confes-

sional from where St. Pio spent an innumerable amount of hours listening to confession. You will

have the remainder of the day free to spend at your own leisure, and relax back at your Hotel

room.

Today marks the last time St. Pio celebrated Mass. Just after midnight (in the early hours of

September 23rd) St. Padre Pio call his Superior and asked to make his confession. He then

renewed his vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. At 2:30 A.M., St. Pio passed away. As he

foretold, he "Lived Sick, but Died Healthy", with the stigmata healing.

We will gather for dinner, have a little free time, and then make our way to the Pilgrimage

Church of St. Pio. At midnight, we will join pilgrims from all over the world, as we celebrate Holy

Mass of the Feast of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. Mass is led by the Minister General of the Order of Friars

Minor Capuchin, followed by a procession with a statue of Saint Pio and his relics. The

procession concludes at 2:30 A.M., marking the time St. Pio passed away.

Return to your Hotel for a restful nights sleep.

travel along the beautiful Gargano Peninsula to the Grotto of St. Michael the Archangel, a

shrine consecrated by St. Michael. At this grotto, St. Michael appeared to a Bishop to assure him

that his diocese would not be annihilated as he feared. Following the visit to the grotto, enjoy

restful overnight.

Day 8, Monday, September 24: San Giovanni Rotondo - Lanciano - Loreto - Assisi

After breakfast, we will head to Lanciano. Upon arrival in Lanciano, we will celebrate Mass at

the Church of St. Longinus. This Church is the site of the Eucharistic Miracle that occurred in the

eighth century. At the time of the Miracle, there was a Basilian monk who struggled with the

belief in the real presence of The Lord Jesus in the Eucharist. During the time of Mass, the monk,

with doubt in his voice, said the "Words of Consecration" and the bread turned into living flesh,

and the wine transformed into live blood. There will be some free time to explore Lanciano,

before continue toward the Adriatic coast to the great Marian shrine of Loreto to visit the Holy

House of Nazareth, and the beautiful Madonna of Loreto. More than 50 Pope's have made a

pilgrimage to the house transported by angles to this hill in central Italy, in 1294. Tradition has it

that this is the house in which Mary first prayed the Magnificat, in which Jesus grew to manhood,

and in which the Holy Family lived. Continue on to Assisi, the hometown of St. Francis. Upon

arrival in Assisi, you will enjoy dinner, before retiring to your room for a restful night's sleep.

Day 9, Tuesday, September 25: Assisi (The Life of a Saint, that inspired a Holy Father)

Enjoy an early breakfast, followed by a full day of touring the hometown of St. Francis. St. Francis

is the "Patron Saint of Animals and the Environment." Additionally, he is responsible for founding

the Franciscan Order, and the inspiration for our Holy Father, Pope Francis. He chose his name in

admiration of the Saint of Nature, and Servant to the Poor. Known for being a humble man

himself, Pope Francis spent most of his life denying the luxuries of life. He preferred to live in

simplicity and humility, while giving up all other worldly possessions, just as St. Francis did. As we

visit the birthplace of St. Francis, you will become captivated as the atmosphere has not

changed since St. Francis began his ministry, in the early 13th-century. We will start our tour at

the St. Francis Basilica, visit his tomb of St. Francis, and have the opportunity to view a series of

frescoes depicting his life, along with a few of the saint's possessions. From there, we will

continue on a walking tour through this picturesque town, including the birthplace of St. Francis,

and ending with a tour of the Church that honors St. Clare, the foundress of the Poor Clare

Sisters. This Saint followed the teachings of St. Francis very closely by also living a life of poverty

and humility. Enjoy some free time on your own - you may take this time for additional prayer,

shop in the many gift shops or enjoy a nice lunch. After lunch, we will board the bus, which will

take us outside of the walls of Assisi, to the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels. This is where St.

Francis spent most of life. This Basilica is made up of two structures, both of which you will visit.

The first structure, is the "Porziuncola", which is where St. Francis founded his order of the Friar

Minor (Franciscans). The second, is the "Capella del Transito", which is the place of St. Francis'

death. During your time here, you will have the opportunity to visit the beautiful Rose Garden

where St. Francis and other friars lived, as well as the cave where the Saint retired to pray. Return

to Hotel got dinner and overnight.

man. - St. Pio, Pray For Us!

If ratio is higher special supplements may be implemented for something referred to "single in double room" at an additional rate to the single supplement rate listed. If passengers are traveling alone and wish to have 206 Tours assign a room-mate we will do our best, however, if we do not succeed in assigning a same sex roommate for you, you will be responsible for the additional Single Supplement fees. TRIPLE ROOMS In most hotels (other than Paris) triple accommodation is possible, however, no reduction in cost is available. Due to pace of our pilgrimage schedule it’s a challenge to open up all 3 suitcases and every-one’s hand luggage; take showers and be on the move within appropriate time. First Class and Superior Tourist Class Hotels in general are not set up for triple rooms. Hotels usually either add a third bed which is like a fold up bed or a sofa bed. At times such as in Paris it is either impossible or worse it’s the “Murphy bed” . For that reason we discourage booking triple rooms. MEALS Most trips includes two meals per day (breakfast and dinners) which are served at your hotel or local restaurants. Beverages are not includ-ed with dinners where not indicated. In case you chose not to have a meal, there is no refund for unused meals. Although we cannot guarantee, we will try and accommodate each special meal request on flights as well as at hotels. Please advise of such a request at the time of booking. We can not guarantee that special meal/diet requests can be met. BAGGAGE Each tour participant is permitted to bring one checked suit-case, one small carry on bag (8" x 14" x 22"), and one personal item (i.e. purse, laptop case). In general, the airlines permit 1 checked bag weighing up to 50 lbs (23 kg) and maximum dimensions of 62 in (158 cm) calculated by adding the length + the width + the height of the bag. Please check with your specific airline to verify the size and weight allowances. 206 Tours is not responsible for the loss of, theft of, delay, or damage to a participant's belongings.

Though every effort will be made to follow the itinerary, it should be considered as an indication of the tour, rather than a contract of places to be visited. Occasionally local religious holidays, national days, traffic conditions and other events may necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain visits. We will have daily Mass and strive to be in places as indicated. However, sometimes this is not possible as the site may not be available for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an alternative site for Mass will be arranged.
