Italy
A Pilgrimage of Peace with St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish
Join Father Matthew Montag and the St. Maximilian Kolbe community on this prayer-centered pilgrimage and visit not one but two foreign countries! Begin in Italy with the quiet, serene town of Assisi, home to relics of St. Francis and the incorruptible body of St. Carlo Acutis. Continue to Rome, the heart of the Catholic Church, and see all four major basilicas before taking a short flight to Croatia. Close out the pilgrimage in Medjugorje, letting the graces from Our Lady wash over you and bring you closer to her Son through interior, spiritual conversion. This is a pilgrimage you will not want to miss out on!
