Italy
A Pilgrimage to Italy with St. Pius X Catholic High School
We are delighted to invite you to walk with us on a pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome in the spring of 2027. We will pray at the tombs of St. Francis, St. Clare and St. Carlo Acutis, a young man whose love for the Eucharist speaks so clearly to our generation. We will gather with the Holy Father in St. Peter's Square, celebrate Mass in the great basilicas of Rome, and stand where the apostles gave their lives for the faith. A pilgrimage is more than a trip. It is time set apart to encounter Christ together, and we hope you will join us!
