Jubilee Year Pilgrimage
The group of 34, including Agrupados, families and friends, had a blessed experience. They arrived in Rome expecting to witness the beatification of Blessed Carlo Acutis as a culmination of their trip and on day five of the pilgrimage, upon arriving in Tuscany at the Abbazia di Monte Oliveto, they learned of the death of the Holy Father. They modified the itinerary to visit St. Peter's Basilica to pray for the Holy Father. They were also able to participate in the funeral procession from the Chiesa di GESU in Rome. More photos will be produced in the coming weeks.
Ignacio Abella and his wife Lourdes, lead organizers of the pilgrimage, were able to spend an evening with Congregante Sean Cardinal O’Malley, CFR, our prior Director, Fr. Christian A. Sáenz S.J., and the Cardinal's secretary, Fr. Robert Kickham (not pictured).
The entire group expresses their deep appreciation for the outstanding support of Fr. Sáenz.
