There are a variety of ways to tour the city of Rome and other areas both near and far from the city. You might want to try Carrani Tours, which is just one half block down from the Church of Santa Susanna, across from the S. Regis Grand Hotel. Or, you might want to try a walking tour or day trip with Fr. Greg
Spiritual Walking Tours with Fr. Greg
The idea of a Spiritual Walk comes from Saint Philip Neri, one of the great evangelists of Rome. While we offer these programs, the staff of Santa Susanna has in the past taken pilgrims on a prayerful walk to various churches in the city.
Now, because of changes in staff and pastoral duties, we have fewer opportunties to take pilgrims on these walks.
Because our Wednesday morning tours in the Winter (of 2010) may be in conflict for people attending the Wednesday Papal Audiences, we have decided to offer these walking tours on TUESDAY mornings in MARCH. We are also planning a Saturday Parish Field Trip to Tuscandy towns of PITIGLIANO AND SOVANA on March 20 (details and fees will be posted here in mid-February). We visit several holy sites, seeing these places as pilgrims rather than as tourists and praying in each place that we visit. The prayer is designed to reflect the style and spirituality around which the church was built. The Thursday walks occur in a limited area. If you have difficulty walking, ask us about the specifics of a walk.
