Sister Mary Gabriel, Carmel D.C.J.
Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus

Spending time in Rome and learning more about the early Christians and lives of the Saints has been such an enriching experience as a consecrated religious Sister. There is so much to learn from the rich history of the Church. During this program at the Domus, the Faith has come alive in new ways for me. Walking into churches and finding St. Monica’s tomb or the place where St. Agnes was martyred was amazing.

It has been such a blessing to participate in this program and to meet other Sisters. I enjoyed every minute of our walks together and our dinner conversations. Also, the talks and homilies from the various priests have been so uplifting. There are so many memories from these three weeks that I look forward to going back and sharing with my community, friends, and family. This has been a trip of a lifetime.
