Pilgrims gathered this morning at 9.00am for a pilgrimage walk to two significant places associated with Mazenod. The first stop was San Silvestro Church where St Eugene stayed on a number of times while in Rome and where he was ordained a bishop. This was followed by Mass at the 12 Apostles Chucrh. Sts Philip and James are buried in this Church and St Eugene visited this Church.
Some of the pilgrims visited the Catacombs in the afternoon while Fr Paul did liturgical shopping. He maxed out his credit card but has some really nice stuff!!
The day finished with dinner at Piazza Navona. Tomorrow the pilgrims head to Aix, the birth place of St Eugene and the Oblates. The train trip is 14 hours and the train leaves at 7.15am so I am off to bed.
