Rome & Italy Pilgrimages
Nawas’ Pilgrimages to Rome and Italy Are Our Most Popular Tours
Millions of the faithful continue to journey to Rome to celebrate their faith in the heart of the Catholic Church. Now, their pilgrimage carries even deeper meaning with the recent passing of Pope Francis, a beloved shepherd who inspired the world with his humility, compassion, and call for healing. As Catholics honor his legacy, many have been drawn to Rome and Italy for the 2025 Holy Year—a moment of profound spiritual renewal. On December 24, 2024, Pope Francis opened the Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, officially launching the Jubilee, leaving behind a powerful testament of faith for the world to embrace. In 2026, thousands of pilgrims will again visit Italy to commemorate 800 Years of St. Francis of Assisi.
For a pilgrim, the typical visit includes an Audience with the Pope and visits to the four major basilicas: St. Peters, St. Mary Maggiore, St. John Lateran and St. Paul’s outside the Walls. Other favorite pilgrimage sites in Italy include Assisi, Padua, and San Giovanni Rotondo. With the temperate weather, fewer crowds and lower prices, November through March is our client’s favorite time to make a pilgrimage to Italy.
