“Days in Rome” Project – October 2022

Many of you have dropped me a note about how you enjoyed my posts from Rome. I intend to return in October, which will also allow me to participate in the “Summorum Pontificum” pilgrimage, which I understand is still on. The first event will be in Santa Maria “ad martyres” (the Pantheon) on my birthday, 28 Oct. I’d like to be there for the whole month and then the first week of November for the sake of All Saints and All Souls, and maybe a quick trip to Milan for St. Charles Borromeo.

For this reason, I need to start a new fundraiser: airfare, apartment and chow.  Another thing, the chalice and paten I had made for my ordination needs refurbishing.  I want to take them back to the shop in Rome where they were made.  I consulted them in June and they will be able to do it. 

Hence, wavvy flag. Click.

The last time in Rome, I recorded the names of everyone who contributed and I very often said Mass for them, as my benefactors, several times a week depending on “emergency” intentions for the sick or dying.

I also remember the regular monthly and ad hoc donors and those of you who send items from my wish list. Many prayers were raised for you at the altars of saints in Rome. 

It’s a tremendous boost to reflect on your care for me and to read your notes.  Especially in these dark days.

UPDATE: Thanks!  

Some donations come without email addresses, so I can’t write you a note in return or include you on my list for updates when I am in Rome.  Just FYI.
