This isn’t your typical Rome itinerary – it’s a one-of-a-kind pilgrimage with Verso Ministries curated just for Pillar readers (in a good way). From off the beaten path sites to titular churches of past Pope Leos, with daily Mass and Catholic guides, this pilgrimage will remind us that despite the news, the Church is still good, true, and beautiful. With a few surprises along the way and the recording of a live show, you haven’t seen Rome until you’ve seen Rome with JD and Ed.
Note: A new, updated itinerary is coming soon! We’ll visit the Augustinian sites of Rome, aim to see the pontiff’s titular church, Santa Monica, and pray at some of the titular churches of a few of the other 13 other Leos across Rome.
