A NOTE FROM LINO

Ciao! (That means "hi" in Italian...)

​

We debated doing an Italy trip for the Jubilee year. There will be millions of people, long lines, and unexpected headaches. But it only happens every 25 years, so we decided to indulge first. And then get an Indulgence.

​

Having a Villa in Tuscany will be amazing. Seeing some of Italy's greatest cities will be a blast. And going to Rome will be insanity.

​

There are lots of meanings behind the Jubilee, but one of them is this: There will be a TON of people in Rome. So please note this is not the normal "Lino in Italy" trip. We'll visit the 4 Papal Basilicas of Rome. And a few other beautiful churches. We'll still eat at my favorite restaurants and free time for shopping and fun. But if you're an impatient person...if you don't like crowds...and you're really not interested in an indulgence...this isn't the trip for you.

​

This will be a 2 bus trip. Myself, Fr Dave, Brett, and Tyler. We won't be doing this one for another 25 years...And it's going to be so much fun. So...


Andiamo!

IS THIS TRIP FOR YOU?

Do you listen to The Catholic Guy Show and/or The Busted Halo Show?

​

This pilgrimage has been created for listeners of The Catholic Guy Show and The Busted Halo Show. Lino, Fr. Dave, Tyler & Brett will be your hosts and part time guides the entire week. If you're a fan of the shows, and have always wanted to see Italy with them, this is the trip for you. 

Are you in decent shape?
This pilgrimage involves a LOT of walking. With so much to see and do, there are long days without much down time, but we promise it will be worth it! You should plan on walking several miles a day; up and down hills, stairs and uneven pavement. We will also be in line for hours to go through the Holy Doors. If you or your plus-one would have trouble with this, this isn't the trip for you.

Do you like to have fun?
It's a pilgrimage, so of course there will be plenty of faith. We also have LOTS of fun. Lunches, dinners and even on the bus, you should plan on laughing along the way. This isn't a retreat. This will be fun! Sourpusses need not apply.
