Join us for an extraordinary journey through the heart of Italy. We will experience the world-renowned churches and artwork that have inspired Christians for centuries, some tracing their history back to the Apostles Peter and Paul. We also encounter the culture and delectable cuisine for which Italy is famous. As travelers, we deepen our understanding of history, art, and culture, and we better appreciate those who came before us. Travel also helps us to prepare for and contribute to what's next. Travel changes our perspective. We reflect and we grow. As a group, we find fellowship and connection with others, and we meet new friends. You are welcome to be a part of this pilgrimage with us! - Pastor Blake Rohrer and Pastor Katie Baardseth ******************* DETAILS: The trip departs on September 14, 2026, and returns on September 24, 2026 PRICING: $3,990.00 per person based on double occupancy - (Space is limited!)

Welcome to the Pilgrimage Ministry of Resurrection Lutheran.  After walking where Jesus walked in 2023, and tracing the footsteps of Paul in 2024, we now journey to Italy to see where our church began and the many saints that have been celebrated over the years.  We will encounter where Peter and Paul ended their journeys in Rome, see the Vatican, and walk the streets where the beginning of Christianity happened.  We will experience, with all our senses, the variety of gifts that people have been given by the Spirit. We will see the artwork of the Sistine Chapel and David, taste the richness of the land through their wine, and touch with our own hands as we cook with each other.  This trip will open our eyes to how God has called people into the church and help us grow together in our faith in Jesus.  Space will be limited to 40 people.   ******************* DETAILS: The trip departs on October 9, 2025, and returns on October 19, 2025 PRICING: Note: we will have airfare pricing starting in December - at this time, please register as land-only to secure your spot and we will update you in December $3,790.00 per person based on double occupancy - (Space is limited!)
