Day 1 | March 24, 2014: Chicago - Italy
Depart USA for your overnight flight to Rome. Dinner and breakfast will be served on
board.
Day 2 | March 25, 2014: Arrive Rome
Upon arrival your escort will warmly greet you this morning and welcome you to Italy.
Transfer to your hotel and enjoy a free afternoon for rest, relaxation, or exploration. You
tour escort can suggest sights or walks for you to enjoy.
Day 3 | March 26, 2014: Rome (Papal Audience and Vatican Museum Tour)
Following breakfast, we will prepare for today, which we will have in our minds for many
years to come. We will make our way to St. Peter’s Square to attend the Papal Audience,
led by His Holiness, Pope Francis. (Papal Audience: Is scheduled to take place every
Wednesday, pending the schedule of Pope Francis) Following the audience, visit of the
Vatican Museums, containing a group of the most impressive edifices with hundreds of
galleries filled with art treasures. See awe-inspiring relics, and works of art donated
throughout centuries as tributes of faith. We'll cover The Tapestry Gallery, The Raphael
Rooms and the most overwhelming Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's Masterpiece, restored
mural of the Last Judgment. Later, enter the largest church in Christendom, St Peter's
Basilica, built on the site where St Peter was martyred. Unsurpassed in beauty, a monu-
ment to the long history of the Catholic Church, to which pilgrims come from around the
world, St Peter's is the grandest of the world's churches. Marvel Pieta and Bernini's amaz-
ing bronze canopy. Pope Francis visited the tomb of St. Peter, following his elevation, for a
visit of devotion that lasted 45 minutes. He is the first Pontiff to visit the necropolis since
extensive archaeological excavations were conducted at the ancient site decades ago. We
will also visit the tomb of Pope John Paul II located at the Vatican. Dinner and overnight.
Day 4 | March 27, 2014: Rome (Full Day of touring Christian Rome)
Following breakfast, we will depart for a sightseeing tour entitled "Christian Rome" which
includes: the Basilica of St. Mary Major, the most important and the oldest church dedicat-
ed to Our Lady. St. Mary Major contains a relic from the manger of the infant Jesus. Next,
the Basilica of St. John the Lateran, the Pope’s cathedral church where relics of both Peter
and Paul remain under the main altar. It was here that Pope Francis was formally installed
one year ago as Bishop of Rome. Next we cross the street to see the Holy Staircase which
is believed to be a staircase from Pilate’s palace in Jerusalem and brought to Rome by St.
Helen in the 4th century. Time permitting we may climb the steps on our knees in memory
of Christ’s Passion. Stop for lunch, and then we will continue on to visit St Paul. Outside
the Walls, here we celebrate Mass. Continue our tour via the Appian Way -- the oldest road
from Roman times--plus the famous Domino Quo Vadis Chapel; see the ancient Baths of
Caracalla, Arch of Drusus; Tomb of Celilia Metella, and the catacombs of St Callixtus
where the early Christians hid themselves to escape persecution. We will conclude the day
by visiting the famous, Trevi Fountain. Built in the 15th Century to mark the ending desti-
nation of the Aqua Virgo (a manmade channel erected in 19 B.C. to bring fresh water to
Roman bathhouses.) The water comes from the Salone Springs, eight miles outside of the
city. Legend has it, by tossing a coin into the fountain, it will guarantee a return trip to
Rome. Dinner and overnight.
Day 5 | March 28, 2014: Rome – Monte Cassino – San Giovanni Rotondo
Following breakfast, we will head south and cross through the Roman countryside with its
villas and vineyards. During your drive, your tour escort will explain the spiritual, histori-
cal, and cultural overview of Italy, which will help to orient you to this beautiful country
and prepare you for all that you will experience in the days to follow. We stop at Mon-
tecassino, a beautiful town founded by Saint Benedict in 529. Enjoy lunch and then contin-
ue through the countryside heading east to Padre Pio’s town, San Giovanni Rotondo, our
base for the following two nights. Dinner and overnight.
Day 6 | March 29, 2014: San Giovanni Rotondo - Monte Sant’ Angel (View incorrupt
body of Padre Pio)
After celebrating Mass at the tomb of Padre Pio, we tour the sanctuary, see the old church
and the crucifix from which he received the stigmata in 1918. You will see the confession-
al where Padre Pio spent innumerable hours with a multitude of pilgrims, directing them
on their journey toward God. (We will have the opportunity to view and pray before the
incorrupt body of Padre Pio.) Enjoy a breathtaking view of the Gargano Peninsula and a
visit to the Grotto of Michael the Archangel. Six different popes, St Francis and at least
four other saints have knelt in prayer at this grotto, seeking the protection of St Michael.
Following lunch, take in the panoramic view of the ocean and the surrounding countryside
awaits you at this most celebrated shrine of early Christianity, a shrine consecrated by St
Michael himself in 490. Return to San Giovanni for devotions, reflection, and a restful
overnight.
Day 7 | March 30, 2014: San Giovanni Rotondo – Lanciano – Loreto – Assisi
We will have breakfast at our hotel before we make our way to Lanciano, and visit the
Church of St. Longinus where we will see the Eucharistic Miracle and celebrate Mass. It
was here, as they celebrated the Latin Rite, a Basilian hieromonk was assigned to celebrate
Mass. The monk had doubts about the real presense of Jesus Chris in the Holy Eucharist.
With doubt in his voice, he said the “Words of Consecration” and the bread turned into
living flesh, and the wine changed into live blood. The blood coagulated into five globules,
corresponding to the wounds Christ suffered in each hand and foot on the cross, and the
wound from the centurion’s spear. After free time for lunch, we will continue on toward
the Adriatic coast to the great Marian shrine of Loreto to visit the Holy House of Nazareth
and the beautiful Madonna of Loreto. More than 50 popes have made a pilgrimage to the
house transported by angels to this hill in central Italy in 1294. Tradition has it that this is
the house in which Mary first prayed the Magnificat, in which Jesus grew to manhood, and
in which the Holy Family lived. Enjoy lunch before we make our way to Assisi, the
hometown of St. Francis, the patron saint of
animals and the environment, and the founder of the Franciscan Order. We arrive in time
for dinner at our hotel.
Day 8 | March 31, 2014: Assisi (The Life of a Saint, that inspired a Holy Father)
Today is a very special day, as we will spend a full day touring the home of the Saint that
inspired our Holy Father. Pope Francis chose his name in admiration of the Saint of Nature
and Servant to the Poor. Known for being a humble man himself, Pope Francis spent most
of his life denying the luxuries of life, and preferring to live in simplicity and humility.
Following breakfast, we will begin a tour of Assisi. Visit the tomb of St Francis. Explore
the quaint hilltop birthplace of St Francis that still retains something of the atmosphere of
the early 1200s, the period when St Francis began his ministry. Contained within the huge
13th-century Basilica are many of the saint's possessions and a series of frescoes depicting
his life. You may kneel before the crucifix from which Jesus spoke to St Francis, asking
him to rebuild His church. It was in St Mary of the Angels Basilica where St Francis spent
most of his life. Here we visit the Chapel, Portiuncola, the rose bush, and the cave where
the saint retired for prayer. Stroll the medieval streets of the compact little town. You will
have some free time to shop or eat lunch at an outdoor cafe with a view of an ancient
Roman temple, we go to the Church of St. Clare to see the saint's incorrupt body. The
foundress of the Order of Poor Clares followed the teachings of St Francis by living a life
of poverty and humility. We will visit these two saints' tombs before dinner and retiring for
the evening.
Day 9 | April 1, 2014: Assisi – Siena - Assisi After breakfast we will head south to Siena, the birthplace of Saints Catherine (Doctor of
the Church, and one of the two patron Saints of Italy, with St. Francis of Assisi) and Ber-
nardine (known as the “Apostle of Italy” for his efforts to revive the Catholic faith in the
15th century). Siena is also one of Italy’s loveliest medieval cities. Here we will stroll the
Piazza Del Campo, one of Italy’s finest squares and visit the Cathedral and the Basilica of
St. Francis, containing the miraculous consecrated hosts that remained intact since 1730.
After lunch, we will continue on to view the incorrupt head of St. Catherine at the Basilica
of St. Dominic (Her body is preserved in Rome in the Basilica St. Maria sopra Minerva).
We travel back to Assisi for dinner and overnight.
Day 10 | April 2, 2014: Rome- Medjugorje
Today we depart for Rome Airport where you will take a short flight to Medjugorje. Upon
arrival, you'll also be greeted by a tour guide and/or driver who will then take you on the 2
1/2 hour drive by private coach to the village of Medjugorje. Once there, you'll meet your
guide and be introduced to your host family in whose modern and comfortable house you
will be staying for the next four nights.
Day 11 to 13 | April 3-5, 2014: Medjugorje Experience the beauty and peace of this simple village. During your stay in Medjugorje
you will have the opportunity to share faith with pilgrims from all over the world.
Here are some of the activities you'll be sharing with our fellow pilgrims: Each morning at
10am we assemble at St James Church for the English-language Mass (Feast days and
Sundays English Mass is at Noon). Follow the path up Apparition Hill where the visionar-
ies first encountered Our Lady. Touch and pray before the cross that commemorates the
spot where Mary first appeared to the visionaries.
Each evening at 5pm or 6pm daylight savings time, we will join the villagers and pilgrims
to pray the rosary. The apparition takes place at 5:40pm or 6:40 daylight savings time, and
then stay on for Croatian Mass. Don't miss on Tuesdays and Saturdays Adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament and on Fridays Veneration of the Cross in the Church. Each evening
during Croatian Mass, there is the Blessing of the Sick and blessing of the items you have
with you.
Our guide will arrange meetings with the visionaries at their own homes provided that they
are in Medjugorje during your trip, and pending their availability. We will have the oppor-
tunity to climb Krizevac Mountain, where in 1933 the villagers built a 30' high cross on the
anniversary of Jesus' crucifixion. Visit and pray at "Blue Cross", which is a place of great
healings and graces- a very special place at the base of Apparition Hill.
We will visit the community of Cenacolo.
Day 14 | April 6, 2014: Medjugorje – Chicago After an early breakfast and heartfelt farewells, we leave by motor coach for Dubrovnik
Airport (Split or Sarajevo) for return flights home.

requests can be met. BAGGAGE Each tour participant is permitted to bring one checked suitcase, one small carry on bag, and one personal

losses or expenses. To guard against unforeseen health or other cir-cumstances, we recommend you purchase our optional travel insur-
ance. 206 Tours is not responsible for circumstances beyond its control. In circumstances where trip cancellations resulting from the inability for trip to depart as scheduled, such as cancellations due to
acts of war and/or terrorism, war, God, or nature takes place, 206 Tours is not liable for restitution. Though every effort will be made to follow the itinerary, it should be considered as an indication of the
tour, rather than a contract of places to be visited. Occasionally local religious holidays, national days, traffic conditions and other events
may necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain visits. We will have daily mass and strive to be in places as indicated. However, sometimes this is not possible as the site may not
be available for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an alternative site for Mass will be arranged. SPECIAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS You must report any disabil-
ity requiring special attention to 206 Tours at the time of registration for any tour. We make every effort to accommodate disabled passen-
gers by reserving for them wheelchair assistance at airports and handicap accessible rooms where available, however, we cannot guarantee and are not responsible for any denial of services by carri-

adversely affected by traveling. YOUNG TRAVELERS Travelers who are less than 18 years old on the departure date must be accompanied by an adult. Due to heightened
security, many countries have adopted practices to prevent international abductions of children. If a child will be traveling with adults other than
the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended that a notarized letter be written by the parents or non-traveling parent granting authoriza-tion to travel including the dates of travel. We also suggest you contact
