Join Father Hoffa for an Amazing Pilgrimage Experience - September 2027
Father Hoffa has led many a pilgrimage over the last two decades, all of which have been amazing experiences. Local friends and owners of Ciccio's Olives have just announced a very special pilgrimage for September 2027 - Sacred Table. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime trip for all.
From Ciccio's Travel...
There is a version of Italy most travelers never find — where faith is alive in the piazza, the kitchen, and the olive grove at dusk. Sacred Table is a small-group retreat woven from pilgrimage, prayer, and extraordinary Calabrian food hosted by the Ciccio's Olives family alongside Fr. Allen J. Hoffa — Pastor of Holy Guardian Angels Parish in Reading and Director of Diocesan Pilgrimages for the Diocese of Allentown — this retreat is open to anyone seeking beauty, stillness, and a deeper connection to something ancient and real.
This retreat is for anyone who has ever felt the pull of something more — whether your faith is deep-rooted or quietly searching, there is a place for you.
Highlights:
Daily Mass celebrated by Fr. Hoffa, with confession and spiritual guidance available
Opening blessing over the Ciccio's Olives olive groves
Hands-on cooking classes with Chef Pino
Guided olive grove & mill tour with the Pugliano family farmers
5 curated pilgrimage sites across Calabria — cave churches, ancient monasteries, Marian sanctuaries
One agriturismo home base — small group, intimate, unhurried
