Today Father took us on a walk with the Saints. The focus was less on history and architecture and more on the lives of the Saints.
Today was also our last day with Father Landry. We have been blessed to have him as our pilgrimage leader and have enjoyed him thoroughly. As one of our group members said, "His instruction has been like sipping out of a fire hydrant!" However, we each have drunk our fill and are left with an abundant font from which to draw for reflection and prayer.
We will briefly list the Churches we visited and the Saints that are buried there:
1. Chiesa Nuova. This is the Church where St. Philip Neri is buried.
2. Basilica of Saint Augustine. St. Monica is buried here.
3. Basilica of St. Agnes. This is built on the site of her martyrdom.
4. St. Andrew.
5. Basilica of St. Maria in Sopra Minerva. Catherine of Siena is buried here (except her head!)
6. Pantheon. This was built in 37 BC.
7. Basilica of St. Ignatius. St. Robert Bellarmine, St. Aloysius, and St. John Berchman.
8. The Gesu. St. Ignatius and the arm of St. Francis Xavier.
