Insights on Literature, etiquette, and Beauty from a Catholic wife and mom

Join me on the adventure of a lifetime!

 

I want to invite YOU on the most beautiful pilgrimage to Italy next September (2023). For twelve days, September 18-29 we will adventure, pray, and explore Italy together. As pilgrims, we will walk in the footsteps of one of my greatest heavenly friends, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati! If you’ve followed me on my blog and IG, you know how much I love this Saint. And I know how much many of you LOVE this Saint, too.
We will fly into Rome, visit the Vatican, attend a papal audience, go to Assisi, explore Tuscany and Florence, and then see Blessed Pier Giorgio’s city and tomb in Turin. We will end the trip with something I’ve wanted to do for YEARS: we will visit Blessed Pier Giorgio’s summer home in Pollone. Pollone has Pier Giorgio’s skis, his bed, and other relics. Click HERE to view the complete itinerary!
Each day we will have Mass (my friend Father Bryan Stitt will be joining us!) and have confession available, too. I really wanted the Sacraments available to us on this pilgrimage. Throughout our pilgrimage, we will pray a novena prayer to Blessed Pier Giorgio together, praying the last prayers in his hometown of Turin.
Please join me! I would love to travel with you, pray with you, eat Italian food (especially gelato!) with you, soak up beauty with you, and visit all those amazing Italian Saints! This truly is the adventure of a lifetime.
