Embark on a transformative journey through Italy's sacred sites with the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation's upcoming pilgrimage, scheduled for November 3rd to 13th, 2025. This spiritual expedition, led by Dr. Anne DeSantis and Father Matthew Phelan, O.deM., offers participants an opportunity to deepen their faith during the Jubilee Year 2025.
The itinerary focuses on Italy's renowned shrines and Eucharistic miracle sites, including:
Lanciano: Home to the earliest recorded Eucharistic miracle, where a consecrated host transformed into physical flesh and blood in the 8th century.

These sites have inspired countless pilgrims, and visiting them provides a unique opportunity for spiritual renewal. There will also be a visit to Nemi, Italy, where the Mercedarian Religious Order has a rich heritage.
