Italy Pilgrimage
October 20 - October 31, 2023

 As we continue pilgrimages that trace the movement of Christianity from Jerusalem to Europe, our next stop is Italy. We will visit some of the same places Rob scouted out for us on his sabbatical: Rome, Assisi, and Florence, and we will be guided along the steps of St. Francis of Assisi as well as Renaissance artists and theologians in Rome and Florence.
Dates are October 29 - October 31, 2023, with an optional excursion to Tuscany and Siena November 1-3.
Costs are about $5,820 (not including flight) per person, and an additional fee of about $1,500 for the add-on excursion, but that does depend on the number of participants.
