25 Years of Italy and a Rhine River Cruise
Happy Friday from Lisbon!
For the next month I’ll be leading back to back pilgrimages across Portugal, Spain, and France.
But today I am announcing two pilgrimages for you.
As always, Patrons and Paid Substack subscribers get first access, followed by those who requested info (waitlist), and then they are open to all. Launch dates and times are listed below for each trip.
Lately my trips have been selling out quickly. At most, 24 hours, and some within minutes. I have no idea about these two, but just want you to be aware.
25 Years of Italy
This trip is loosely based on my first visit to Italy in October, 1999. We’ll be staying in nicer hotels and having better meals, but the itinerary is similar.
We start in Rome, visit Florence, Assisi, and Loreto, before returning to Rome. We will also be making stops in Lanciano and Manopello – something I did not do on my first trip.
The priest is Father Peter Idler, one of the priests who traveled with me on that very first trip.
All the details are here:

Patrons / Paid Substack Members: May 27th at noon Eastern / 9 AM Pacific

Rhine River Cruise
Last year when I offered the Danube River Cruise I was sure that would be the only river cruise I ever did. Two days in and the people with me demanded I do another. 🤣 So here we are!
I’ve chartered the exact same boat and this time we are taking down the Rhine. From Amsterdam to Basel, Switzerland.
Because we are taking the whole ship, I have two priests joining us, both are regulars on my pilgrimages, Father Peter Idler and Father Michael Baggot.
