September 2026 | Dominican Pilgrimage to Spain, France and italy
Embark on a sacred Dominican Pilgrimage to Spain, France, and Italy, a profound 14-day journey through the heartlands of European faith, study, prayer, and preaching.
Walk in the footsteps of St Dominic, St Catherine of Siena, and other great Dominican saints as you trace the origins and living legacy of the Order of Preachers. From Caleruega, the birthplace of St Dominic, travel through the early foundations of the Order in Prouilhe and Toulouse, places where the Dominican charism first took root and flourished.
The pilgrimage continues into Italy, visiting Bologna, a historic centre of Dominican study and community life; Siena, home of St Catherine’s witness of faith and courage; and Rome, the heart of the universal Church. Along the way, you will encounter towns, monasteries, and sacred sites that reveal how prayer, truth, and preaching shaped Europe—and continue to renew the Church today.
Journeying with the Dominican Friars and the Dominican Sisters of St Cecilia, this pilgrimage offers daily opportunities for prayer, reflection, and shared celebration of the liturgy. It is an invitation not only to visit holy places, but to deepen your understanding of the Dominican charism: to contemplate, and to share the fruits of contemplation.
