Dear Fellow Pilgrim,

Here is your invitation to join the Association of the Miraculous Medal’s special spring pilgrimage for 2015. This pilgrimage includes the Passion Play at the Italian town of Sordevolo which takes place every 5 years. This Passion Play has its own character, with the text dating from about 1500. It is a community project of the town and its people, offered in the afternoon or evening. It is not to be missed!

But there’s more than a Passion Play on this pilgrimage. We’ll have three days in Rome, and we’ll visit Assisi, Florence, Padua, Venice, and Turin—including the Chapel of the Holy Shroud. We will also see and visit other historic and holy sites. This is an exciting and unusual itinerary. I look forward to seeing you there.

As usual on the Association Pilgrimages, you’ll find that many of the meals and excursions are included. With the Passion Play also included, the price is a real value. Please join us! This brochure and the additional sheets give full details including important terms and conditions. Look them over, and send in your reservation today. I look forward to seeing you and welcoming you on this exciting, once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Sincerely yours in our Lady, Fr. Shelby

DAY 1: Fri., May 29 - New York/En RouteDepart for your overnight trans-Atlantic flight to Rome, Italy. DAY 2: Sat., May 30 - Rome DAM: Welcome to Rome, the Eternal City! Upon your arrival you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel.

Rome - To discover the treasures of Rome is to take a walk through the centuries. Even in ancient times, Rome was known as the Eternal City. Today, it is even more remarkable, a bustling 20th century metropolis, flourishing amid ancient monuments. Where else but in Rome can you visit the 1,900-year-old Coliseum, then walk down an avenue of modern buildings? Rome has been the center of Christendom ever since St. Peter established the Church here.

PM: Tour of Christian RomeYour tour starts with a visit to the magnificent Basilica of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls, the largest in Rome after St. Peter’s. Marvel at its beautiful cloisters. It is said that when Emperor Constantine the Great brought peace to the Christian Church, and honored her saints, he enclosed the Apostle’s body in a metal case and placed upon it a heavy cross of gold. He then built a church above the grave. This Basilica is the most beautiful of all the Roman churches and one of the four patriarchal basilicas.

Continue along the Old Appian Way to visit one of the magnificent Catacombs of Rome. This curious underground maze of tunnels is hollowed out of rock. Here the early Christians, persecuted by the Romans, practiced in secret, their religious rites and buried their dead.

Next, you will visit St. John in Lateran, the Cathedral of Rome. Opposite the Lateran Palace, there is a 16th century building containing the Scala Santa, which according to legend were brought to Rome by St. Helena from Pontius Pilate’s house in Jerusalem.

Dinner: Enjoy a Welcome Dinner at a local restaurant.

DAY 3: Sun., May 31 - Rome B,DAM: In the late morning you will proceed to St. Peter’s Square to attend the Angelus, where you will view the Pope as he blesses the gathering (subject to the availability of His Holiness).

PM: Tour of Ancient RomeIn the afternoon you will relive some of the city’s past splendor as you pass legendary monuments, palaces, ruins, and fountains. Visit the most famous monument of ancient Rome, the monumental Coliseum, famed battleground of the gladiators, and scene, according to some, of the martyrdom of early Christians. However, there is no historical basis for this tradition. The Coliseum was particularly admired by 19th century travelers to Rome because of its romantic ruined state.

Next, you will visit the Roman Forum. The origins of the most ancient and “romantic” group of ruins in Rome are lost between history and legend: once nothing more than a marshy hollow, the area was drained with the digging of the “Cloaca Maxima”; it became the political, commercial, and religious center of Rome. Excavations began in the 18th century. From here you may climb up to the Palatine Hill, to see the remains of the most ancient Roman homes and of the “Roma Quadrata” (Square-shaped Rome) founded by Romulus. The extraordinary archaeological site is also celebrated for the beauty of its scenery.


DAY 4: Mon., June 1 - Rome B,DAM: Tour of the Vatican MuseumsVisit one of the most splendid museums in the world, the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel. Your detailed visit begins with the Corte Della Pigna where your expert guide will discuss the history and beauty of the Sistine Chapel. Then, you will visit the Hall featuring Greco-Roman sculptures, the Hall of Tapestries, featuring magnificent 16th century Flemish

tapestries executed from Raphael’s designs, and the Maps Gallery, a 120-feet-long gallery, hung with interesting ancient maps. Your tour will end at the Sistine Chapel, the Pope’s official private chapel,

where election conclaves are held, a gem among gems. In order to respect its reverence, the Vatican has requested silence during your visit. Raise your eyes to see Michelangelo’s “Creation” and the famous “Last Judgment.”

Continue to St. Peter’s Square, one of the most beautiful and famous in the world, surrounded by Bernini’s imposing colonnade that seems to “embrace” it with its 284 columns. In the background, see the massive structure of the Basilica with its gigantic facade, the largest church in Christendom. The interior, extending for 186 meters, culminates under the dome

ITINERARYwith the Confession Altar and the Papal Altar, covered with the sumptuous bronze baldachin by Bernini, and the apse, aglow with golden mosaics. In the first chapel on the right is the famed “Pieta” by Michelangelo.

PM: Enjoy the afternoon at leisure to explore this fascinating city on your own.


Tonight you may want to plan an evening visit to the Trevi Fountain, one of Rome’s most celebrated sights. The Trevi Fountain is best seen at night, when it is fully illuminated. Throw a coin into the fountain to ensure your return to this wonderful city!

DAY 5: Tues., June 2 – Rome/Assisi/Florence B,DAfter breakfast at the hotel you will depart Rome and travel to Florence. En route you will stop in Assisi.

Assisi - A gentle landscape outside its walls and a history of gentle saints within, characterizes serene Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis and St. Clare. During the Middle Ages, it repeatedly battled neighboring Perugia. Into these turbulent times, St. Francis was born in 1182. The son of a wealthy merchant he spent his early years pursuing life’s pleasures. A nearly fatal illness converted him to a life of poverty, penitence, and prayer. In 1210, he founded the Franciscan Order. Since its native saints restored simplicity and joy to a strife-torn Christendom,

Assisi has changed little. Flowers, birds, and quiet make it one of the most charming towns in Umbria.

AM: Sightseeing Tour of AssisiYour first stop will be

the Basilica of St. Francis, which houses the frescoes of Giotto and Cimabue depicting the life of St. Francis. Next, visit the Church of Santa Chiara. Under the high altar is the Tomb of St. Clare, the enthusiastic disciple of St. Francis who founded the order of Clarissines of Poor Clares. Then on to the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, containing the famous Porziuncola, the chapel where St. Francis consecrated St. Clare as the bride of Christ.

PM: In the afternoon you will travel to Florence.


DAY 6: Wed., June 3 - Florence B,DFlorence - Visiting Florence is like being in an intimate, outdoor museum. Florence exudes history and culture. Heralded as the birthplace of Renaissance art, architecture, and science, Florence is home to masterpieces by Michelangelo, Giotto, Ghiberti, Donatello, and Botticelli. Besides its rich artistic heritage, the city itself is beautiful, lying on both banks of the River Arno.

AM: Half-day Walking Tour of FlorenceFlorence, a city of artistic wealth and beauty, holds many treasures for you to discover. Start your visit at the beautiful Piazza del Duomo to see the delicately patterned green, white, and pink Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, crowned by Brunelleschi. Then see Giotto’s Bell Tower and the Romanesque Baptistery of St. John with the exquisite bronze doors by Ghiberti (Michelangelo called them “The Gates of Paradise”). Visit the Academy of Fine Arts, which houses Michelangelo’s superb “David” and many of the master’s unfinished works.

PM: Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure exploring this beautiful city on your own.


DAY 7: Thurs., June 4 – Florence/Padua B,DAM: After breakfast at the hotel you will depart Florence and travel to Padua.

PM: Tour of PaduaIn the afternoon you will enjoy a tour of Padua with the famous picturesque piazzas of the old city center: Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza dei Frutti, and Piazza dei Signori. You will come across the many curious names that make Padua a city of a thousand faces. Padua is the city of the “Saint without a name,” because St. Anthony who died here in 1231 was always referred to by the townspeople simply as “the Saint.” See the Basilica of Sant’ Antonio, which is visited by approximately 8 million pilgrims every year, thus making Padua the third most frequented center of pilgrimage in Europe after Rome and Lourdes. The interior houses splendid masterpieces by the greatest artists from the 14th to the 18th century, including over 30 works by Donatello.


DAY 8: Fri., June 5 – Padua/Venice/Padua B,DAM: Walking Tour of VeniceThis morning you will be transferred to the rail station to board the train for a short ride to Venice.

SupplementalTerms&Conditions

The Association of the Miraculous Medal is not the tour operator for this pilgrimage nor the employer of any of the tour operation providers. Rather, Association staff members serve as Spiritual Guides for the tour. The Association assumes no responsibility for issues that might arise with tour participants, particularly for any injury, damage, or loss to person or property. The liability waivers stated for Far Horizons in the Terms & Conditions apply equally to the Association.

Tour participants must be able to care for themselves during the pilgrimage. The pilgrimage involves significant walking, some in areas where the terrain is rough and uneven including cobblestone streets and gravel paths. The pilgrimage also involves climbing stairs and walking up hills. The Association and its service providers cannot provide individual assistance to pilgrims. Pilgrims certify that they are capable of independently caring for themselves on the tour. If you will need assistance on the pilgrimage for your personal care, you must bring someone with you on the pilgrimage to provide that care.

On the pilgrimage, photos will be taken which may include you. By joining the pilgrimage you consent to letting the Association use your photo in its publicity and communications with its members.
