Jubilee Pilgrimage to Rome & The Amalfi Coast

This morning, we head to Vatican City to experience one of the most moving highlights of our journey—a Papal Audience with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (subject to the Holy Father’s schedule and health). Surrounded by pilgrims from all over the world, we’ll gather in St. Peter’s Square to receive the Pope’s apostolic blessing, an unforgettable moment of unity, joy, and grace for our Jubilee pilgrimage. In the afternoon, we visit the Major Basilicas of Rome. At the Basilica of St. Mary Major, the largest in Rome dedicated to Our Lady, we’ll see breathtaking Biblical mosaics, a gilded ceiling believed to contain gold brought back from the New World by Columbus, and a relic of the Holy Crib. While here, we’ll also visit the recently established tomb of Pope Francis—a site of deep reverence and gratitude for his legacy of humility, mercy, and reform. We continue to the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the oldest and highest-ranking of the four major basilicas, serving as the official cathedral of the Bishop of Rome—the Pope. We’ll also visit the Scala Santa (Holy Stairs), believed to be the very steps Christ ascended during His Passion, brought to Rome by St. Helena. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
