Italy Pilgrimage

Have you ever dreamed of seeing, touching and experiencing the grandeur of Saint Peter’s in Rome. Or how about walking thru the Vatican Museum and standing in the Sistine Chapel where popes have been elected for hundreds of years. Or how about seeing the Spanish Steps or throwing three coins in the Trevi fountain to ensure your return? Have you ever imagined yourself actually walking the streets of Assisi, home of Saint Francis, Saint Clare, and the tomb of Saint Carlos Acutis? Or standing in the grand churches of Florence. If now is the time to fulfill those dreams, consider joining this year’s pilgrimage to Italy led by Father Leo Spezia and Deacon Chris Ast, both frequent visitors to Italy.  And if you are especially ambitious you can add extra days and visit Padua and the most romantic place on earth, Venice Italy. Sign-ups have begun, but for those who would like more information, and see pictures from last year trip,  please consider attending the information meeting Sunday, February 8th following the 10am mass. And for more information please scan the ad in the bulletin for the link to the travel site.
