Upon arrival in Rome, we are met and board our motor coach for our ride to Assisi. Following lunch on our own our first stop is in the lower town for a visit and Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Portiuncula, Francis' Church of the Little Portion. We continue to the upper village and our hotel for dinner and overnight at our hotel in Assisi.
This morning after breakfast, we begin at the Basilica of St. Francesco with Mass. After our visit of the Basilica and the tomb of St. Francis, we begin our walking tour of the village with a stop at the Church of St. Clare to view the famous San Damiano crucifix. From this cross, Christ spoke to St. Francis telling him to “rebuild my Church”. This afternoon, we can enjoy this picturesque hillside village on our own. Dinner and overnight at our hotel in Assisi.
Following breakfast we have an early morning departure from Assisi we travel south through the Umbrian countryside. We stop at Orvieto for a visit and Mass at the breathtaking Cathedral, which is known as the jewel of Italian architecture. Inside the Cathedral is the Chapel of the Corporal, which houses the chalice cloth, involved in the Eucharistic Miracle. In the 13th century a pilgrim priest named Peter of Prague was celebrating Mass. He was having a faith crisis concerning the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and while speaking the words of the consecration, blood started to drip from the consecrated Host. Subsequently Pope Urban instituted The Feast of Corpus Christi. Afterwards we will travel south to the wonderful town of Sorrento along the Mediterranean for dinner and overnight at our hotel.
This morning, after an early breakfast we leave Sorrento by hydrofoil across the Bay of Naples to the Island of Dreams, Capri. We tour the island including Ana Capri. We celebrate Mass at one of the churches here before we return to Sorrento for dinner overnight.
Today weather permitting(*), after early breakfast transfer to the Sorrento port. Departure from Sorrento by boat to the Amalfi Coast. Our first stop will be to the village of Amalfi. We visit the stunning Cathedral where we celebrate Mass. The Cathedral is home to the relics of St. Andrew, the patron and protector of Amalfi. Free time for lunch. In the first afternoon we depart to Positano. Visit the wonderful village and capital of Moda Mare. We return to Sorrento by boat, transfer from the port to our hotel for dinner overnight. (*) if the weather doesn’t permit the excursion to Amalfi Coast it will be replaced with Caserta Royal Palace excursion.
This morning after breakfast, we leave Sorrento and we travel to Rome, the Eternal City. We will enjoy lunch on our own. The remainder of our day will be free to explore the world-famous sites of Rome. Some crowd pleasers that you may recognize from the movies include the Spanish Steps, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Pantheon, and Michelangelo’s Moses housed at the St. Peter in Chains Basilica.

This morning, we make our way to St. Peter's for an audience with Pope Leo XIV, if he is in residence. Remember to bring any religious articles you want blessed by the Holy Father. Following the Papal Audience, we tour St. Peter's Basilica, Catholicism’s mother church and the largest church in the world. Highlights include Michelangelo’s Pieta as well as Bernini’s famous altar columns, one of which contains the spear of St. Longinus, the Roman centurion who pierced the side of Christ and was converted by the blood and water that flowed from it.
