Celebrate the 2000th Jubilee of the Apostle Paul with a 12-day Pilgrimage of a lifetime! Arriving in Athens during beautiful June, join fellow pilgrims aboard the Steps 2 ship as you begin a 7-day cruise traveling among key Pauline sites in Turkey and near the Aegean Sea – Thessaloniki, Philippi, Sardis and Ephesus. Sail on to Patmos, the Holy Island, where St John wrote the apocalyptic Book of Revelation, to visit the cave and Monastery of St. John for prayer and reflection. Returning to Greece, we will then tour Athens and the ancient Pauline city of Corinth. We will then board the overnight ferry to Bari, Italy to head to Rome, stopping to visit Pompeii en route. Our time in Rome will focus on sites of Imperial and Christian Rome including the Coliseum and the Vatican. A special Mass to celebrate the Apostle Paul 2000th Jubilee will culminate this faith-enriching pilgrimage!
