The Journey
St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City
Enter the spiritual epicenter of the Catholic world at St. Peter's Basilica, a monumental church built over the tomb of Saint Peter. Marvel at Michelangelo's Pietà, ascend to the top of the grand dome for panoramic views of Rome, and stand in awe of the sheer scale and artistic brilliance within. Outside, St. Peter's Square, designed by Bernini, embraces visitors with its majestic colonnades, creating a powerful space for prayer and reflection. A visit during the Jubilee Year intensifies the experience, offering a profound sense of unity and faith.
Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore
Discover the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome's oldest Marian church and one of its four major basilicas. Admire the breathtaking 5th-century mosaics, the opulent golden ceiling, and the Chapel of the Nativity, home to relics of the Holy Crib. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, this basilica invites pilgrims to reflect on her role in salvation history and seek her maternal intercession. Experiencing this sacred space during the Jubilee offers a unique opportunity to renew your trust in God through the loving presence of the Mother of Christ.
Basilica of San Lorenzo fuori le Mura
Journey to the Basilica of San Lorenzo fuori le Mura, one of Rome’s seven pilgrimage churches, built over the burial site of Saint Lawrence. This sacred place is a powerful reminder of faith, service, and sacrifice. Pray near the tombs of Saint Lawrence, Saint Stephen, and Pope Pius IX, and wander through the peaceful cloister, taking in the ancient mosaics that create an atmosphere of quiet reverence. Connecting with the courage of the early Church, pilgrims can renew their own call to live the Gospel with love and generosity.
Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme
Unearth sacred treasures at the Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, founded by Empress Helena to house relics of the Passion of Christ. Venerate fragments of the True Cross, a nail from the Crucifixion, and a thorn from the Crown of Thorns in a special chapel designed for deep prayer and contemplation. Walking through this holy place is a spiritual journey to Jerusalem, offering a powerful encounter with Christ’s suffering and love. This experience fosters conversion and hope during the Jubilee year.
Papal Basilica of Saint John Lateran
Visit the Papal Basilica of Saint John Lateran, the Cathedral of Rome and the Pope's seat, revered as the Mother and Head of all Churches. Founded by Emperor Constantine, the basilica showcases centuries of Christian devotion through its majestic facade, baroque interior, and ancient baptistery. Pilgrims can reflect before the high altar, reserved for the Pope, and pass through the Holy Door, opened during Jubilee celebrations. Discover your baptismal call and renew your journey of faith within the heart of the Church.
Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls
Explore the Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, a major pilgrimage site built over the tomb of Saint Paul the Apostle. The basilica's vast nave, ancient Cosmatesque floor, and stunning triumphal arch mosaics offer a space for silent reverence. Beneath the altar lies the tomb of Saint Paul, a testament to centuries of faithful devotion. A visit here offers an encounter with the Apostle’s courage, faith, and missionary zeal, inviting pilgrims to renew their commitment to Christ and spread the Gospel, as Saint Paul did.
Basilica of San Sebastiano fuori le Mura
Discover the Basilica of San Sebastiano fuori le Mura, one of Rome's traditional Seven Pilgrimage Churches, honoring Saint Sebastian, a Roman soldier and martyr known for his unwavering faith. Built along the Appian Way, the basilica stands on a site rich in early Christian history and once sheltered the relics of Saints Peter and Paul. Explore the catacombs beneath the church, walk in the footsteps of early Christians, and venerate the relics of Saint Sebastian. Reflect on the cost of discipleship and find strength in the witness of the martyrs, deepening your journey of grace.
