The Hallowed Way Guides to Pilgrimage

We, John and Laura, retired from our careers in 2021, got married, and developed a habit of going on pilgrimage.  So far, we’ve spend 352 days on the road to holy places since our first Camino de Santiago. 

This blog is our attempt to inspire and enable you to undertake you own journey, whether walking across Europe, the same footsteps as Jesus, or just across town. 

We collect prayer requests and pray for you in these holy sites. Send us your prayer requests by using our Prayer Request form.

Hallowed Way Pilgrimage Guides

Saint Francis by Giotto

Assisi remains the spiritual heart of Italy, especially as it approaches the momentous 800th anniversary of Saint Francis’s passing in 2026. This guide connects the medieval poverty of the Poverello with the contemporary witness of Saint Carlo Acutis—the first millennial saint. By detailing essential logistics, a guide to visiting the major basilicas, we provide everything you need for a self-guided pilgrimage.
