VIRTUAL Pilgrimage to Italy: Time to “Fly” Home!

YearofFaith_Banner_Pilgrimage

My how the time has flown! It seems like just yesterday that we arrived in Italy for our VIRTUAL pilgrimage and now, here we are, packing our virtual bags and getting ready for our virtual flight home! I hope you’ve enjoyed this little journey! It’s been nice traveling with you. Before we leave, we will celebrate a wonderful liturgy with our Holy Father, Pope Francis and then one more exquisite dining experience!

Today, we’ll gather in St. Peter’s Square with thousands of catechists who have gathered from all over the world for this “Day for Catechists” and we will join in the Eucharist with Pope Francis who is expected to encourage us to live a life of witness for the fatih rather than simply catechizing as a job.

What do you have a taste for after Mass?

Me? I’ve got a hankering for seafood but I definitely want some more of that Bailey’s Irish Cream gelato for desert!

Live Your Faith, Pope Exhorts Catechists
