With authentic cultural experiences woven into every step, this pilgrimage promises to be an unforgettable adventure for the soul.

Discover Malta

In Malta, faith is not just history—it’s heritage. This sun-drenched Mediterranean island has witnessed the rise and spread of Christianity since the time of St. Paul, who was shipwrecked here in 60 A.D. As you explore its fortified cities and sacred spaces, you’ll discover the enduring legacy of the Knights of St. John, who made Malta a bastion of Christian defense and devotion.

From the awe-inspiring Co-Cathedral of St. John in Valletta to the miraculous survival of Mosta’s church dome during WWII, Malta offers a powerful blend of ancient faith and divine resilience.

Whether walking through catacombs in Rabat or visiting the revered Ta' Pinu Basilica on Gozo, each moment invites quiet reflection on the timeless connection between land and spirit.

Explore Sicily

Sicily’s sacred story unfolds in layers—Greek temples turned Christian shrines, Baroque cathedrals built on ancient ruins, and miracles woven into everyday life. On this pilgrimage, you’ll follow in the footsteps of saints and seekers across cities shaped by devotion. In Catania, witness a city devoted to Sant'Agata. 

In Syracuse, feel the living presence of faith at the Santuario della Madonna delle Lacrime, born of a miraculous weeping Madonna. 

Walk the hallowed paths of Monreale’s stunning Norman Cathedral, and stand in awe at the cliffside sanctuary of Santa Rosalia, Palermo’s beloved “Santuzza.”

 From quiet chapels to grand basilicas, Sicily opens your heart to the enduring strength of belief amid beauty, history, and a touch of the divine.
