Today pilgrims journeyed to the Oblate House where we joined Fr Harry Dyer for morning tea. The group explored Oblate General House from the roof top which overlooked the city of Rome. Mass was celebrated in the chapel by Fr Paul and Fr Harry where all pilgrims were deeply moved. After mass the pilgrims viewed and prayed in the presence of St Eugene's heart. A relic of St Eugene's his heart is kept here because he was known to have a heart as big as the world. The pilgrims left in awe and inspired by this incredible experience.
Sunday afternoon pilgrims were left to venture through the streets of Rome discovering the catacombs, basilicas, shops while struggling with the language.
The evening was spent dining, wining and laughing with the locals. A bonus of the evening was the entertainment of a piano accordion by authentic Italian (bound to win the next Italian Idol). Pilgrims encouraged him in true Aussie style.
