The path of grace

Seven pilgrimage churches in Rome are connected by a path that pilgrims have walked for centuries. On this journey, they meditate on the life of Jesus and the saints who followed in his footsteps, gaining inspiration for their own life paths. It is a step of grace that runs through the Holy City. This pilgrimage guide accompanies you on the Seven-Church Pilgrimage. It introduces the significance of each church and offers a short liturgy for every church. Visiting the churches thus becomes a spiritual experience. The guide is suitable for leaders of pilgrimage groups as well as for believers traveling alone.

Dr. Heiko Merkelbach is the regional dean of the Stuttgart region and also serves as the pastor of two congregations. His connection to Rome stems from his time studying there. Since then, he has led several groups through Rome each year.
