Your JC Journey
In June 2026, all are warmly invited to join a special pilgrimage to Assisi, the sacred heart of Umbria and the home of many great saints. This journey offers a time of reflection, renewal, and encounter.
Here, you will have the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of St. Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint whose deep love for the Eucharist and joyful faith continue to touch hearts across the world. Surrounded by the beauty and peace of Assisi, we will explore the places that shaped his life and discover how his example speaks powerfully to our own call to holiness today.
As we travel through the holy places of Umbria, we will also honour the enduring witness of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi, and other saints whose lives shine with simplicity, faith, and love.
Prices 5 nights:
£1,350 pp (per person, two people sharing) | £ 160 (single supplement)
Deposit payment of £600 per person when booking
