Jubilee in Rome / Canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis

Join Us for a Once-in-a-Lifetime Pilgrimage

Experience the Canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis, affectionately known as “God’s Influencer,” who used his exceptional computer skills to share his deep faith, particularly in the Holy Eucharist. At just 15 years old, Carlo left an enduring legacy of devotion and will be canonized in Rome on April 27, 2025.

This Jubilee Pilgrimage combines spiritual depth with Italy’s cultural richness as we journey through Rome, Orvieto, Assisi, Siena, Florence, and the stunning landscapes of Tuscany. Highlights include passing through St. Peter’s Holy Door during the Jubilee Year, visiting Orvieto’s miraculous Eucharistic relic, walking in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare in Assisi, and marveling at Siena’s Cathedral and Florence’s Renaissance treasures.

Amid the breathtaking beauty of Italy, this spiritual journey offers moments of reflection, inspiration, and a deeper connection to faith.
