Is this Pilgrimage RIGHT FOR YOU?
This pilgrimage is designed for Catholic married couples who are seeking to follow their vocation to prioritize God and each other in their vocation to Marriage. Please consider this with prayer open to God's will... and be assured of our prayers too.
This pilgrimage is geared for individual couples with their spouses, and for pilgrims with God. Though for large portions of the trip you will go around Rome and Assisi with a group, we encourage and foster your focus on your spouse. The group is designed to be small for ease of travel and touring. For couples wishing to spend more time with their old or new friends who are also on the pilgrimage - group portions, some free time, and evenings can be spent for that. For couples wishing to spend as much focused time alone as possible, they have the built-in option for plenty of that time each day. It's a great mix of belonging to a small group, and having time away from the group to be alone with your spouse.

Fr. Vince Huber A.V.I. (middle) is a priest of the Apostles of the Interior Life. He has received his Licentiate Degree in Marriage & Family Studies from the John Paul II Institute for Marriage & Family Studies (Rome). After being in Rome for nine years as a student and a priest, he now does ministry in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas. The ministry of the AVI brothers consists in taking care of the human and the spiritual formation of others. Thus they offer the service of spiritual direction and evangelization full time wherever they find people available to receive it. They carry out their mission both in public and private university chaplaincies both in the US and in Italy; they preach spiritual exercises, offer parish missions, guide retreats, hold conferences on topics of faith and morality, help young people in vocational discernment and marriage preparation. They also work with the organizations Focus, School of Love, and Followings. In order to carry out such a ministry, they are formed through an intense daily prayer life, strong community life, studies in philosophy and theology at the Lateran University (Rome), and through the practice of apostolate. The brothers all live in Rome or lived there during their years of formation. Fr. Vince Huber (middle) will be leading the pilgrimage as well as offering Mass, spiritual direction, and Confession.
