Italy 10 San Giovanni Rotundo and Padre Pio to Rome

by Steve Ray on May 24, 2025

Rotondo | Shrine of Padre Pio | Rome

We used vans to ascend to the shrine, then celebrated Mass at the Shrine of Padre Pio. Steve’s talk on Padre Pio. Then a tour of Tour Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie Church and Convent.

On the long ride to Rome, we had fun on the bus with me telling our conversion story, reenacting Catholic Answers Live on both buses and lots of time for prayer and jokes and naps. We checked in to Hotel NH Collection Roma Centro then out to dinner at the elegant L’Archeologia.
