The Archdiocese of Philadelphia group preparing to depart Rome this morning. Prayers for a safe trip home for everyone!
Good morning everyone, we arrived safely back in Audubon last evening, thank you for your prayers. This is the bus ride to the airport where Father Wild prayed in thanksgiving for the blessings we received on our trip, our connection to the Eucharist and transformation through it that St. Carlo and St. Pier Giorgio experienced every day making them extraordinary. And for the blessings of our new found friendships - our group was phenomenal and so full of joy! - Renee Hasse
