Our last day in Rome was a memorable one. We had Mass with the Holy Father to celebrate the feast of Peter and Paul. This is a great privilege as this is one of the biggest feast days in all of Rome. Our students were all able to get great seats, and they even wheeled Papa Francesco down the aisle after mass! We are grateful to have been able to participate in mass with the successor of Peter.
We finished the day with a fantastic banquet meal. The chaplains and staff all had the chance to share a few words with the students. It was beautiful to see how deeply the chaplains care for their students, and how much the students love them in return. We are blessed to have so many young priests to witness to and journey with these students on their early pilgrimage. Now we return to the States. Thank you for allowing your children to participate in this pilgrimage. It was an honor to be able to lead them through Rome. Andiamo!
