June 21, 2024: Mass in St. Peter at the Tomb of the Apostles Simon and Jude

This morning we started our day in the world’s largest and most beautiful church, San Pietro’s.  Fr. Bouck said Mass, gave an impressive homily, and the students clearly understood the blessing of having Mass in St. Peter’s at the altar of St. Joseph, which has Sts. Simon and Jude in it. Three Apostles’ remains with 400 feet of each other, and we were right in between…Holy Cow are we blessed!!! 
After Mass, all the students are going on the Scavi tour and will see the very bones of St. Peter's and then a tour of St. Peter’s to follow.  If you didn’t know this, our chaplains are amazingly good and generous priests. Say a prayer of thanksgiving for them, they are true fathers to these students.
