XXth Anniversary Pilgrimage
[Revised: October 13, 2008]
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to unforeseen engagements, Cardinal Castrillon-Hoyos has had to change the Mass time for our anniversary on October 18 to 10am (rather than 11am).
We are sorry for the inconvenience, but the change was unavoidable.
N.B. ALL liturgical events will take place at the FSSP parish church Trinità dei Pellegrini, located Via dei Pettinari 36, 00153 Rome.
On October 18, 2008 our
Fraternity will celebrate in Rome the twentieth
anniversary of its canonical erection. All our members and
faithful are cordially invited to partake in this anniversary,
either through prayer or if possible by attending,
according to their pastoral and academic availability.
Several groups have already formed in various countries.
Further additions and precisions (e. g. location
for Masses and meals) will be communicated to you in
due course. Already now however, the elements below
offer a concrete schedule for those able to plan this
pilgrimage to Rome. It is understood that Americans are
much less likely to attend in large numbers, due to the
distance and time and costs involved. Still, since many of
our faithful do travel to Rome every year on
pilgrimages, it would seem most fitting to seize this
opportunity of our XXth anniversary, obviously spending
longer time than only a week-end in Rome or Italy. So a pilgrimage for Americans has been organized.
