Day 1 | February 18, 2013: Depart USA - Italy Board your flight for the start of your pilgrimage, with complimentary meals and beverages served on board.

Day 2 | February 19, 2013: Arrive Rome, Italy Upon arrival in Rome Airport you will find your luggage and exit the baggage claim into the arrivals hall where you will be greeted by your tour escort and/or driver. After a warm welcome to Italy, you will be transferred to your accom-modation in Rome, where you will stay for the next four nights Enjoy a free afternoon for rest, relaxation, or exploration. Time permitting, take an evening walk with Father through some popular sites in Rome. Overnight in Rome.

Day 3 | February 20, 2013: Papal Audience and Vatican Museums Wake up in Eternal City, one of the greatest centers of Western Civilization and the first truly cosmopolitan city on earth! It is also spiritual capital for all the Catholics around the world. Today is truly a day we will have in our minds for many years to come. This morning we go to Vatican City to attend the weekly Papal Audience or Blessing given by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI (pending papal schedule). Following the audience visit of the Vatican Muse-ums, a group of most impressive edifices with hundreds of galleries filled with art treasures. See awe-inspiring relics and works of art donated throughout centuries as tributes of faith. We'll cover The Tapestry Gallery, The Raphael Rooms and the most overwhelming Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's Master-piece, restored mural of the Last Judgment. Later, enter the largest church in Christendom St Peter's Basilica, built on the site where St Peter was mar-tyred. Unsurpassed in beauty, a monument to the long history of the Catholic Church, to which pilgrims come from around the world, St Peter's is the grandest of the world's churches. Marvel Pieta and Bernini's amazing bronze canopy. We will also visit the grave of Pope John Paul II located at the Vati-can. Before dinner, we'll have some time at leisure, to explore your own paths, to shop, or just to sit in one of the outside cafes and watch the world go by. Overnight in Rome.

Day 4 | February 21, 2013: Touring Christian Rome This morning we depart for a sightseeing tour entitled "Christian Rome" which includes: the Basilica of St. Mary Major, one of the oldest shrines dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, a shrine that contains a relic from the manger of the infant Jesus; the Holy Stairs, the Basilica of St. John the Lateran, The Basilica of the St John in Lateran, is the former residence of the popes prior to their return to Rome in 1377; St Paul Outside the Walls, which houses the remains of St Paul under its main altar; and the Appian Way -- the oldest road from Roman times--plus the famous Domino Quo Vadis Chapel; see the ancient Baths of Caracalla, Arch of Drusus; Tomb of Celilia Metella, and the catacombs of St Callixtus where the early Christians hid themselves to escape persecution. We will also enjoy a visit to the Trevi fountain. Overnight in Rome.

Day 5 | February 22, 2013: Rome - Basilica of San Clemente Today we will visit the Basilica of San Clemente, its magnificent frescoes and its twelfth-century mosaic of the Cross as the Tree of Life. Until the middle of the 19th century it was thought that the present Basilica of San Clemente was that mentioned in 392 AD by St Jerome who wrote that ‘a church in Rome preserves the memory of St Clement to this day.’ In 1857 the Prior of San Clemente, began excavations under the present Basilica, uncovering not only the original, fourth-century basilica directly underneath, but also at an even lower level, the remains of a first-century building. Later, on our own and time permitting, we’ll explore some highlights of ancient Rome, including the Fo-rum and experience a view of the Coliseum. Afterward, some time for shop-ping and exploring on your own before this evenings dinner at a typical res-taurant including wine. La Carovana (or similar). Overnight Rome.

Day 6 | February 23, 2013: Rome - Montecassino - Pietrelcina - San Giovanni Rotondo After breakfast, we head south, cross through the Roman countryside with its villas and vineyards. During the drive, your tour escort will explain the spiritu-al, historical, and cultural overview of Italy, We’ll stop at the Abbey of Monte Cassino, where St. Benedict established his first monastery, the source of the Benedictine Order, around 529. It was the site of Battle of Monte Cassino in 1944. The site has been visited many times by Popes and other senior clergy. The monastery is one of the few remaining territorial abbeys within the Catho-lic Church. a beautiful town founded by St. Benedict in 529. We’ll continue to in Pietrelcina, a farming town in the southern Italian region of Campania, and the birthplace of Padre Pio. He was baptized in the nearby Santa Anna Chapel, which stands upon the walls of a castle, where restoration work was later undertaken by the Padre Pio Foundation of America We’ll continue through the countryside toward the town of San Giovanni Rotondo, our base for the following two nights. Dinner and overnight in San Giovanni Rotondo.

Day 7 | February 24, 2013: Excursion to Mt. San Michel After celebrating Mass at the tomb of Padre Pio, we tour the sanctuary, see the old church and the crucifix from which he received the stigmata in 1918. You will see the confessional where Padre Pio spent innumerable hours with a multitude of pilgrims, directing them on their journey toward God. Enjoy a breathtaking view of the Gargano Peninsula and a visit to the Grotto of Mi-chael the Archangel. Six different popes, St Francis and at least four other saints have knelt in prayer at this grotto, seeking the protection of St Michael. A panoramic view of the ocean and the surrounding countryside awaits you at this most celebrated shrine of early Christianity, a shrine consecrated by St Michael himself in 490. Return to San Giovanni for devotions, reflection, and a restful overnight.

Day 8 | February 25, 2013: San Giovanni - Lanciano - Loreto - Assisi After breakfast, we depart up the Adriatic coast to Lanciano where we will see the Eucharistic Miracle. We continue on to the great Marian shrine of Loreto where we will visit the Holy House of Nazareth and the beautiful Madonna of Loreto. More than 50 popes have made a pilgrimage to the holy house which was transported by angels in 1294 to this hill in central Italy. Tradition has it that this is the very house in which Mary first prayed the Magnificat, where Jesus grew to manhood, and in which the Holy Family lived. We make our way to Assisi the hometown of St. Francis the patron saint of animals and the environment, and the founder of the Franciscan Order. We arrive in time for dinner at our hotel.

Day 9 | February 26, 2013: Assisi Visit the tomb of St Francis. Explore the quaint hilltop birthplace of St Francis that still retains something of the atmosphere of the early 1200s, the period when St Francis began his ministry. Contained within the huge 13th-century Basilica are many of the saint's possessions and a series of frescoes depict-ing his life. You may kneel before the crucifix from which Jesus spoke to St Francis, asking him to rebuild His church. It was in St Mary of the Angels Basilica where St Francis spent most of his life. Here we visit the Chapel, Portiuncola, the rose bush, and the cave where the saint retired for prayer. Stroll the medieval streets of the compact little town. After stopping at an out-door cafe with a view of an ancient Roman temple, we go to the Church of St Clare to see the saint's incorrupt body. The foundress of the Order of Poor Clares followed the teachings of St Francis by living a life of poverty and hu-mility. We will visit these two saints' tombs before dinner and retiring for the evening.

Day 10 | February 27, 2013: Depart Assisi - Rome Airport - New York We’ll depart for our transfer to Rome airport and our flights home, with memories for a lifetime.
