Pilgrimage to Italy 2019 Fr. Tom and the students of St. Augustine’s Schola just returned from a two week pilgrimage in Italy. They visited many beauti-ful sites and were even privileged to sing for Cardinal Burke!

Before the memories of the trip to Italy grow dim, I’d like to recall some of the highlights and graces that God gave on this beautiful pilgrimage! The parents, chaperones, and children’s choir came to just over 60 people, we had to split and fly on two different planes to Rome! Our pilgrimage began in a homeschooler’s bus, driving to Toronto. I was blessed to travel with the Tabeling family (Ruth the mother, Ann and Grace twins, Jonathan and Martin), and Mrs Rosaria Park (our summer organist) was also in our van. Traveling with this group really brought it home what taking a trip with the whole family is like! (Just kidding!) Jonathan, who is 19yrs old and a student at Wyoming Catholic did the lion's share of the driving. In Toronto, we met up with other St. Augustine families and took an 8 hour flight to Paris, where we had to wait a couple hours for the transfer flight to Rome. Once in Rome, even though everyone was very tired, we got on a chartered bus for a 4 hour drive to Florence, our first stop! Florence, is a stunningly beautiful city! The river Arno flows through its center and there are sev-eral gorgeous bridges over it. The kids had a great time climbing up the Duomo (and later Giotto’s bell tower) which is the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore (St. Mary of the Flowers) in the center of old town. They even gave an impromptu outdoor concert on the piazza, accompanied by a street musician! Florence, proved to be a city of flowers, we stayed at a convent hospitality house, where two of the sisters were from Poland! Nearby was the Assi Pizzeria restaurant where our whole group had wonderful Italian dinners with red wine! Another day in Florence, we visited the world-famous Uffizi Gallery with masterpieces from artists: Leonardo Da Vinci, Botticelli, Giotto, Caravaggio among others! These were the “Offices” of the powerful Medici family which once ruled Florence. We saw the gardens of the Medici family, which would give Central Park in NY a run for its money! We climbed the mountain to the monastery of San Maniato, the highest point in Florence. This is where an Armenian immigrant was martyred for his Christian faith in the early centuries. The choir gave a fantastic performance at Ognissanti church (All Saints) after which I was able to celebrate Mass for our group. After 3 days, we made our way to Rome by chartered bus, with a stop in Assisi. The hometown of St. Francis and St. Clare in the mountains did not disappoint! We were able to squeeze a Mass in at the Basilica of St. Clare, where we were given a very small chapel for a group of our size! We vener-ated the relics of St. Clare, made our way through winding streets to the Basilica of St. Francis, where deep underground is his tomb. This was the first time I was able to venerate the tomb of St. Francis. We also saw a 2nd class relic: his incredibly patched up and poor habit that he wore! All roads lead to Rome, it was late when we finally found the House of Fr. Minozzi, a hospitality house run by a religious congregation, in central Rome.This was very different from the convent house in Florence. We were close to the piazza navona and all the attractions of central Rome, along with the street noise and late night partiers! Rome was a great blessing, we saw so many things that it is hard to write them all out! The next day the kids gave a concert at the Pantheon, the oldest Ro-man structure, and a former pagan temple! It was Sunday, and the kids got to sing their beautiful sacred music for the regularly scheduled Mass which was in Italian. Concelebrating this Mass in the Pantheon, with an old Italian priest, and an adult server who was tremendously skilled at the thuri-

NOTES FROM FATHER TOM

ble, was a moving experience for me! The Pantheon was cleared of the tourists, and only our group and the regular Italian parishioners remained. The priest wore the traditional Fiddleback chasuble used before Vatican II, and the Mass was reverent and beautiful. Afterwards I looked at the back al-tar and found relics of the Blessed Virgin Mary (hair or cloth) and St. Joseph. The kids did their best to sing after Mass, when the not so quiet crowds were let back in! Another day in Rome we visited the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. I spent most of this day with my sister and my oldest niece who flew in from Czech Republic to join us in Rome. Our last day in Rome was full of experiences! We saw the Holy Father at the general audience in St. Peter’s square. It was a surprise for all of us for St. Augustine Classical Homeschool Program to be announced to the Holy Father in English! It was wonderful to see the Roman Pontiff, the successor of St. Peter, up close and a reminder that the Church remains one, no matter who holds the office of St. Peter. Later that day we climbed the Scala Sancta, the marble steps that according to tradition Jesus climbed to his trial in Jerusalem. These marble steps, brought over from the Holy Land, are normal-ly covered with wood but were uncovered for renovations. We got to see the indents of thousands of pilgrims who climbed these same steps over the centuries! It was a penitential and holy experience! We visited the Lateran Basilica nearby, the cathedral church of the Holy Father. Finally we made our way to outskirts of Rome by bus, where we went underground into the Catacombs of St. Domitilla. There are over 10 miles of tunnels where Christens buried their dead. The catacombs began around the graves of two Roman soldiers, who were martyred for their faith. Everyone wanted to be buried near a martyr! Walking through these tunnels we got a feel for the early Christian faith, so focused on the resurrection! The Italy pilgrimage was a great grace for the whole group! Our youngest pilgrim was 6 years old and our oldest over 70! God provided many small miracles to assist our group, like the extra tickets that were just enough to get us all into the Vatican Museums and the Sistine chapel. Celebrating private Masses in side chapels of great churches, like St. Peter’s, was a treat for me! Thank you to Dr. Henry Russell and Lucia Campbell for organizing the pilgrimage and to all of you who supported and prayed for its success. I know the kids of St. Augustine will remember their trip for a long time! -Fr. Tom
