On Friday afternoon, our nearly 100 Diocesan pilgrims who are currently in Italy for the Jubilee Year of Hope departed Assisi.
Their tour buses drove through the scenic countryside lined with vineyards and olive groves, arriving in Siena, one of Italy’s best preserved medieval towns.
The pilgrims visited Saint Dominic Church, home to the incorrupt body of Saint Catherine of Siena. The pilgrims also got to experience the Piazza del Campo, the iconic shell-shaped square where the famous Palio horse races take place each summer.
They also enjoyed lunch, dinner (and some wine) along the way!
