Travel With Olivet

We invite you to join us on a pilgrimage to Italy, a land rich in culture, history, beauty and culinary delights. This journey will take us through Italy’s cities, where we’ll explore not only history but also the culture and theology that make Italy unique. Each day, we’ll dive into the Word of God.

Walking where the Word was written is a profound experience. The focus will be Paul’s Letter to the Romans, offering fresh insights into the early and modern church. Rome, a city blending ancient and modern, will set the stage for our exploration of the Apostles Peter and Paul’s final days.

Along the way, we’ll delve into western civilization, enjoy authentic Italian meals and savor gelato and espresso. We’ll also marvel at masterpieces by Michelangelo and Raphael, and explore architectural wonders in Florence, Pisa, Assisi and Rome.
