expedition Itinerary

Aerial view of the Roman Colosseum in Rome, Italy, surrounded by green parks and urban buildings.
View of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City at sunset, with a stone bridge over the Tiber River in Rome, Italy, and boats docked along the riverbank.

Arrive in the Eternal City and enjoy a welcome aperitivo and dinner with panoramic views of Rome, followed by an opening session introducing the spiritual and historical journey ahead. Begin forging meaningful connections with fellow travelers as you prepare to walk in the footsteps of the faithful.

Day 1 | Rome

Stand where the apostles stood as you explore the foundations of the Church in Rome. Visit the tomb of St. Peter beneath the Vatican, the Mamertine Prison where Peter and Paul were held, and the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.

Day 2 | PETER & PAUL’S ROME

Close-up of the Roman Colosseum with bright blue sky in the background.

Trace the path of sacrifice and conviction as you explore the Colosseum and Roman Forum through the lens of Christian martyrdom in the heart of imperial Rome.

Day 3 | In the footsteps of martyrs

A narrow brick tunnel with multiple arches, illuminated by warm lights.
Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel with detailed frescoes depicting biblical scenes, including the Creation of Adam.

Journey beneath the surface of Rome to the Catacombs of San Sebastiano and San Callisto, where early Christians worshiped, buried their dead, and stood firm under persecution.

Day 4 | Underground faith

Experience the tension between spiritual authority and worldly power with a private tour of the Vatican Museums and early-access visit to the Sistine Chapel. Explore Castel Sant’Angelo and uncover stories of refuge and resistance.

Day 5 | Power & Persecution

Ancient Roman-style building with large columns and dome in a busy city square, with a fountain and pedestrians walking around.
A narrow European street with stone buildings, potted plants along the street, and a sign that reads 'San Paolo Nuffarago Wine & Spirits.'

Discover the endurance of Christian witness as you explore the Jewish Ghetto, Campo dei Fiori, and the Pantheon. Reflect on the courage of those who stood for truth across centuries and consider what it means to carry that witness forward today.

Day 6 | echoes of the early church

Begin the day with a quiet breakfast and, for those who wish, a final time of worship or reflection at a nearby basilica. Private transfers will escort you to the airport, but your journey doesn’t end here—return home not just as a traveler, but as a witness shaped by the faith, sacrifice, and legacy of those who walked these streets before you.

Day 7 | DEPARTURE & COMMISSIONING
