Italian Pilgrimage This tour was designed for a church group from North Carolina who wanted to visit many of Italy's major sights but also wanted to spend more time in places such as Assisi. They will be travelling with at least one priest so we have arranged for them to conduct their own services in Assisi and in the Catacombs in Rome which is of particular importance to those interested in early Christianity.
