Viva il Papa!!! This morning we were able to cheer for the Holy Father and take in the facade of St. Peter’s. Here are a few of the pilgrims waiting for Pope Francis to come around the crowd to give a blessing. All the pilgrims had a great seat on an aisle and were within 5-10 feet of the Holy Father. 

 We are being greatly blessed with reasonable weather and not too crazy hot, but plenty warm. Many of the students have shared that they are not able to log into their email because of multiple authentications and a code is sent to their cell phone…I did not foresee this problem, so if you have been expecting an email from your son or daughter and have not received it is because of this problem. We will try figuring out another way to get them the ability to email. 

 Mass this afternoon at St. Paul’s outside the walls following a tour given by Cardinal Harvey!!!
