Pilgrimage to Italy

Christmas Season
in the Vatican
Directors: Lauren McCaul, John Romeri, David Ball, and Jennifer Pascual
December 27, 2027 - January 4, 2028
Dear Friends,
We are excited to extend this invitation to you to join us in Italy for the 11th Annual Youth Choral Festival During Christmas Season in the Vatican! We will arrive in Rome, with the opportunity to sing Masses and concerts in historic cathedrals and basilicas throughout the “Eternal City.” Witness a Papal Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, celebrated by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, and witness the Holy Father’s visit to the Crèche in St. Peter’s Square.
We’ll visit the sites of historic and Christian Rome, from the Vatican Museums to the Roman Forum. Enjoy an excursion to the 5th century Abbey of Montecassino, the cradle of the Benedictine Order. Our journey will conclude in Assisi to walk in the footsteps of St. Francis, St. Clare, and the newly canonized St. Carlo Acutis. Best of all, we will be celebrating our faith, forming deeper bonds of friendship, and enjoying the food and customs of another culture. There is nothing like sharing such experiences with friends and family in faith. Please consider joining us!
Lauren McCaul, John Romeri, David Ball, & Jennifer Pascual
