We are happy to hear from you.  To ask QUESTIONS, get further INFORMATION, to get posters or FLIERS, or to SIGN UP - please feel free to call or email Mike or Kristi Dennihan at Followings at:

DATES (2018)

The pilgrimage dates are TBA (but typically happen in mid-late May).  That means that travelers leaving from the US will most likely leave the US one day... but (after flying through the night) will not ARRIVE in Rome until the morning of the second day.  (All travelers will be greeted through the morning by the - already waiting - pilgrimage leaders at the arrival gates at the airport Fuimicino - Leonardo da Vinci.)  The pilgrimage (therefore) begins the morning of the 2nd day.  Travelers will then DEPART from Rome on the morning of the 10th day and will most likely return to the US the same evening or night.  

PRICING

The pilgrimage cost is TBA.  This includes: all lodging in Rome and Assisi (some breakfasts included), all public transportation in Rome and Assisi, round trip train travel between Rome and Assisi, all pilgrimage tours, all pilgrimage material, and lots more.  The cost does not include flights, (most) food, or extra non-pilgrimage tours.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE

Payments are made to our partnering travel agent (agent arranges all our "land" bookings) and not to "Followings."

The Payment Schedule (TBA) is as follows:

• payment #1 - $500 (non-refundable) - secures spot
• payment #2 - $1,000
• payment #2 - remainder of balance

FLIGHTS

Flights are not included in the cost of the pilgrimage, as travelers will be traveling to Europe from different parts of the US and will be arriving and departing on different dates (as some will spend extra time traveling in Europe).  For travelers 26 years of age or under there are some very good prices on flights from young/student travel websites such as  www.statravel.com  and  www.studentuniverse.com .  Early booking, special deals, and young/student travel websites will find much better deals than Followings or our partnering Travel Agent will be able to find you.  Please DO NOT BOOK flights until you have confirmed pilgrimage information!  (We have no responsibility for transactions with other sites, organizations, or flight booking plans.)

EXTRA (non-pilgrimage) TRAVELING

Travelers can arrive in Rome on an earlier date for personal (non-pilgrimage related) traveling.  They will be asked to meet with the pilgrimage leaders at the arrival gates of the airport Fuimicino - Leonardo da Vinci on the morning of the 1st day.  Travelers can also depart Rome on a later date for personal (non-pilgrimage related) traveling.  (We have no responsibility for any travel outside of the pilgrimage activities or dates.)   

PRE-PILGRIMAGE CONTACT WITH PILGRIMS

Followings will be contacting pilgrims very often (in fact, constantly) before the pilgrimage.  This will be for two very important reasons: we want to get to know each other, and because there are many things that pilgrims will need to prepare before hopping on the plane.  Contact from both Followings and our partnering Travel Agent will include:

• Deadlines and Payment Schedules
• Passport Information
• Travel Tips, Packing Tips, Money Saving Tips
• Legal Information
• At-Home Contact Information (from Pilgrims)
• In Rome Contact Information and Leader Contact Information (for Pilgrims Families)
• Offering of (optional) Travel Insurance
• Small "Getting to Know You" Assignments (Distributed for all Pilgrims)
• And Much More
