We are delighted to invite you to join us on this ecumenical pilgrimage to Rome, the centre of Western Christianity since

St Peter was Bishop of Rome, a place to which the development of both our traditions owes so much.

It will be a privilege to travel as brother and sister pilgrims, remembering with thanksgiving how much we have in common since those earliest days, sharing in our common faith and love of the Lord Jesus. We hope and pray that in so doing we may all the more live out that great prayer of Christ himself, that “all may be one”, praying for the unity of all Christians and especially for a deepening communion between Roman Catholics and Anglicans.It will be a wonderful opportunity to explore our faith, enlarge our hope, and deepen our love for the Lord. We warmly invite you to journey with us.

HOTEL PONTE SISTOThis four star hotel - see www.hotelpontesisto.it - once a religious house with a pleasant courtyard garden. All rooms are provided with (wc and shower or bath) facilities, air-conditioning, direct dial telephones and tv. There are several lifts. The hotel offers a large buffet breakfast and has a bar. The hotel, near the Lungotevere, is within easy walking distance of the many of the sites within the ‘centro storico’ and the Vatican. This hotel has often been used by pilgrimage groups visiting Rome, attending conferences at the Venerable English College or Consistories for English Cardinals or for English Archbishops receiving their pallium.

The hotel, originally known as the Casa Pallotti, contains the church of San Salvatore in Onda which was given

to St Vincent Pallotti when he was establishing his missionary society. His remains lie underneath the high altar. Almost everything visible in the church is 19th century, except the mixed assortment of ancient Roman columns. The dedication is translated as the church of the Holy Saviour of the Waves from the days when the River Tiber regularly flooded much of medieval Rome.

FITNESSRome, a city built on seven hills, is best seen on foot so a reasonable level of fitness is required for sightseeing. Also due to the number of steps in and around the major attractions of Rome, this tour is unfortunately not suitable for those with walking difficulties.
