Rome...

...and  some unforgettable days in hot summer sunshine.

Sunday Mass at the Venerable English College, with a liturgy of great dignity and beauty with magnificent singing from the young men who are training to be our future priests, serving the English mission in the footsteps of the English Martyrs...

A conference in the Vatican, with representatives of Eastern European countries, including Poland's Lech Walesa, marking 25th anniversary of the extraordinary events of 1989.

A magnificent concert at the residence of the Australian ambassador to the Holy See - his wife is an accomplished concert pianist.

And much more, including a final evening with helicopters clattering overhead while an extraordinary gathering for prayer was taking place at the Vatican...
