Join St. John’s University Parish on a handcrafted pilgrimage from Rome and Assisi with an extension to Lourdes. Journey back to the early Church where you will witness the living testimony of the apostles and saints in the basilicas and churches of Rome and Assisi. Consider the optional extension to immerse yourself in the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, praying at the Grotto of Massabielle with its healing spring as St Bernadette did. This journey of faith is the journey of a lifetime. Allow these encounters with the saints to bring you to the heart of the universal Church.
