About the trip…
April 6 – 15, 2026
Rome… a spiritual home that echoes through time and touches the heart of every Catholic! Visit the center of Catholicism and travel alongside fellow Catholics, accompanied by Fr. Arnold Trauner who will give daily spiritual talks and provide us with Mass (as location allows) and Confession (as availability permits). Each day will consist of visits to churches (36 in Rome alone!) and individual free time, and concludes with a community meal. Make an unforgettable pilgrimage to some of the most important churches in Christendom and walk in the footsteps of Saints! The Eternal City awaits your arrival!
What a guest said about the France trip…
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to IHS Events and the Roman Catholic Institute for organizing the April 2025 trip to France. Taking in so much Catholic history in one trip – and to the eldest daughter of the church was fantastic. The trip greatly deepened my understanding and appreciation of France’s role in Catholic history. The preparatory sessions preceding the trip were very helpful in planning personal time and being comfortable with the local customs.
…
I consider myself a good planner when it comes to taking a trip, and I always try to maximize the opportunity it presents. This trip satisfied all my expectations and then some. Many Thanks! – Thomas Dube
