We had mass almost every day during the trip.
|
| While waiting for our flight at New York's [JFK airport], we celebrated mass in a utility room. |
 |
| Mass at S. Giovanni a Porta Latina. |
 |
| We celebrated mass under St. Peter's Basilica in the Chapel of St. Clementine. Underneath the altar is a door that opens to the fourth century crypt where St. Peter is thought to be buried. |
| [Fr.
Vincent's] friend Sr. Bernadette arranged many special events
for us that typically are hard to come by. The highlight was
our own personal mass presided by Fr. Vincent in St. Peter's
Basilica in the chapel that is closest to St. Peter's burial
site. Mike and I happened to verify this by exploring, up and
beyond our call of duty. This was an overwhelming experience:
St. Peter is the rock which Christ said "build my Church". --Ray |

| Just a short walk from the Norbertine house is one of he oldest churches in Rome, Santa Balbina. |
