Another beautiful sunny day in bella Roma! I spent the day with Fathers Rolo Castillo (Richmond, VA) and Frank Latzko (Chicago,IL) taking a walking tour of Rome for close to 7 hours. It was an ideal day for walking in the city. We started with Mass at del Caravita, which I mentioned last Sunday. Fr. Jerry Blaszyck, SJ of the New York Province presided at the liturgy. While there, I ran into Mike Rogers, SJ of the New England Province who was a student at the College of the Holy Cross when I worked there. Mike is in studies here and will be ordained a priest in June. He is now in the midst of taking exams. After Mass, Rolo, Frank and I began our walking tour and covered many miles before returning to Casa O'Toole. They are terrific guys, and so it was very enjoyable to be in their good company again enjoying the now familiar sights of Rome. The attached photos will show the course of our journey through the city.
