THOMAS AQUINAS COLLEGE

Italy

Rome, Thomistic sites, the Italian Riviera, and Tuscany with Drs. Strader and Emerson

 To go on pilgrimage really means to step out of ourselves in order to encounter God where he has revealed himself, where his grace has shone with particular splendor and produced rich fruits of conversion and holiness among those who believe.

Pope Benedict XVI

THE WESTERN PILGRIMAGE

15 academic credit hours

This open-enrollment semester of Thomas More College of the Liberal Arts is open to males from any college of university and explores the western states of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico.  The final destination is El Santuario de Chimayo, the “Lourdes of America”. 

“I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that the experiences of beauty on this trip afforded a foretaste of the beatific vision.”

 

Dr. Scott Strader

“There were so many highlights of the trip. It’s impossible to choose just one. I’ve never been so incredibly happy for so many days in a row.”

 

Evelyn Murray

“I was stunned by the amazing experience I had, from restaurants to excursion to churches. Incredible itinerary– I hope to do another trip.”
