St. Augustine


Hi All! 
Just got back to the hotel after another great day in Italia.  We spent the day in Pavia.  A very nice town...
One of the things that struck me the most is how in this small out of the way town...in a relatively small Basilica, you find the remain of one of the greatest doctors of our Church!!! 




After studying so many years in the seminary and especially studying the works and writings of St. Augustine... it was such an overwhelming feeling to be in the presence of his remains- what a blessing!
(picture of me praying at the tomb of St. Augustine)























One of the beautiful things about this pilgrimage is the theme: "Family...be who you are" The trip is full of young families committed to the Catholic faith.  I see these kids and i am amazed at how much they know about the faith.  Since a very young age they have been around these incredible sisters.
