Catholic Footsteps

What we offer

Catholic Footsteps allows students and their families to trace the steps of some of the greatest Catholic leaders and marytrs ... and brings Catholic education to life.

We provide curated trips to Italy and the Vatican, focused on the history, legacy, and beauty of the Catholic church.

Our program highights the incredible diversity of the Catholic world and those who have chosen the vocation of religious life.

We provide opportunity to engage with the papal household and the Holy Father through attending a papal audience or mass in St. Peter's Square.

We believe that opportunities to grow in our faith and our love of one another abound when we cultivate a global perspective and discover our place and identity in the world.

Catholic Heritage

Exploring Catholic heritage sites helps students understand how their faith has shaped the world. It helps students understand the beliefs and traditions of the Catholic Church. Students also learn to appreciate and respect the diversity of beliefs and cultures within our society.

“Meeting the Pope was so exciting. Other kids should see the Pope too and Italian ice cream was the best!”
2nd Grade Queens Student

“I never imagined how youthful, spirited, and diverse the Catholic community was and is. It made me really proud to be Catholic and was nothing short of amazing.”
Erich Hebel
