LDS Tour Highlights
Attend the Rome temple open house. Experience first hand this once in a lifetime opportunity, as we become part of this world changing event! Who could have imagined a few years ago that the Vatican would give permission to the LDS church to build a temple in Rome, Italy. Italy is the headquarters of the Catholic church, the cradle of many European cultures and peoples and the birthplace of the Renaissances. It played a major role in the development of modern science, astronomy,and opera. Today, the cultural significance of Italy is reflected in the fact that it boasts by far the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites (44) in the world. In addition to the Rome temple open house, experience a tour of Italy. We will explore Rome, Sienna, Pisa, Florence, Lucca and Venice. This is a trip you do not want to miss. The exact dates cannot be established until the Church announces the dedication date. But reserve your spot now, before the tour fills up.
