Rome. October 2025.
A Pilgrimage Like No Other.
October 13 – 17, 2025
Step into the Eternal City not as a tourist—but as a pilgrim, a learner, and a guest of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross. This unique experience blends spiritual renewal, intellectual formation, and rare insider access to the heart of the Church.
Whether you’re seeking to grow in faith, reconnect with the mission of the Church, or witness the future of the priesthood up close, this week in Rome is your invitation to something deeper.
What to Expect
Dine with seminarians. Study the Acts of the Apostles in seminar-style sessions with Rome’s top Catholic professors. Explore sacred sites most visitors never see.

I feel a deep pull to Rome this year—partly because it’s a Jubilee Year, but also because the Holy Spirit is so clearly at work in the Church right now. Our new Holy Father is just one of many signs of that movement. I’m also excited to continue supporting the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, whose work I believe is one of the most important today.
When I sent my wife the flyer for the Santa Croce Pilgrimage and she said ‘Yes!’, I knew we were in. I’m excited to share this experience with her and spend time with friends—old and new. I’m looking forward to meeting the people at Santa Croce and Sedes Sapientiae, learning how they form leaders, and witnessing the impact graduates make. I’m also eager to visit Villa Tevere, attend Mass in beautiful churches, maybe see the new Pope—and, of course, enjoy Rome’s food, culture, and charm. A trip to Florence is just the cherry on top.
