About this trip

Join Kennedy Hall and Fr. Albert O.P. on this inspiring journey through some of the great shrines of Italy. Begin with three nights in Rome, visiting the main sites of this beautiful city. Wander the Catecombs of St. Callixtus, see the ancient Forum,  and pray at many of the main basilicas of Rome. Render homage to St. Agnes when you visit the Piazza Navona, and gaze up at the dome of the Pantheon when you enter this ancient church. Then, on your way to the Amalfi Coast, visit the renowned archeological ruins of Pompeii, pray at the church of Our Lady of Pompeii, and see the famous Abbey of St. Benedict at Montecasino. Stop in beautiful Salerno to venerate the relics of the Apostle St. Mathew and Pope St. Gregory VII and then take in the views of the Amalfi Coast while sailing on a ferry over to the Island of Amalfi to spend the night in the area. Head on towards Florence and overnight there after visiting some of the main sites of the city including the Duomo, the Academy of Fine Arts, the Convent and Museum of San Marco, and the Ponte Vecchio. Enjoy two nights in Assisi, the beautiful mountain home of St. Francis and St. Clare, and then head back to Rome after stopping to visit the House of Our Lady in Loreto.  All this and much more, while learning and appreciating your Catholic heritage, and enjoying the companionship of Kennedy, Fr. Albert, and your fellow travelers amidst the ease and comfort of group travel!

This trip completely exceeded our expectations. Kennedy Hall was a great host. Everything was very well organized. Our overall in-country guide was amazing - she went above and beyond on several occasions.The food that was organized for us was great and the food we found on our own was also great. Each of our local guides was amazing and incredibly knowledgable. My wife and I learned so much and saw so many things in a relatively short time. We never could have accomplished so much on our own without years of preparation and study! Very grateful for the expertise and quality of this experience! Even our bus driver was incredibly skilled and kind.

The itinerary was excellent, the hotels were wonderful (we managed, even though the rooms were tiny!), the food was fabulous (of course, it was Eataly!!) and it was great to be among like-minded people who are utterly serious about their Faith and have the joy of God in their hearts! Thank you for a great pilgrimage that will live in our hearts forever!

It was an unforgettable trip. The personal from Elvira to Naomi were right on task and taking care of us all the time. We had opportunity to see and visit so much but with a good pace. And still have free time for us and some shopping and enjoyment of the place. Teresa Rocha at the service office also was very responsive to all my questions and that gave me peace of mind. There is only one thing I would expect next trip and that is a working bathroom in the bus. It is the first time in a tour that the bathroom at the bus is canceled and specially in trips of more than three hours it is peace of mind to know that in case of an emergency you have that option. Still the director managed to make stops at our request so everything went smooth. Overall we had a blast , Divine places and people to visit, good hotels, good food and the company of Kennedy as a plus. What else you can hope? Looking for the next one in 2025! Adriana M.
