Our 4-Day Pilgrim Jubilee Year 2025 Package adds the final two: the Basilica of St Sebastian, including the catacombs there below, and the Basilica of St Lawrence.

- St Philip Neri’s Seven Pilgrim Churches;
- Rome’s four Major Basilicas and Holy Doors;
- Relics of the Passion of Christ and

- An enchanting journey through some of the city’s oldest and most beautiful cloisters of religious life, evoking the legacy of St Benedict and the sublime beauty that confirms Rome as the Eternal City at the heart of the Catholic Church.
Our devout Catholic guides are also uniquely able to weave Catechesis and theology into a spellbinding spiritual journey through history that is just as applicable today as in the past. Unravelling the mysteries posed when history and scripture embrace, you’ll enjoy a pilgrim experience like no other.
