New students at the Papal Audience (plus some old ones!) We were seated up close and were called forward later in the proceedings to meet the Pope and have a photograph taken. Quite a surprise

Friday 4 October 2024 After three days in-house the Induction Period had space for a visit to Lake Bracciano. We celebrated Mass in the church of Santa Maria Novella (Bracciano) at 10.30. The parish priest and parishioners welcomed us: it was a ‘cleaning morning’ in preparation for the weekend. The PP (Don Francesco) was happy to receive our good wishes on his Onomastico. We then had a guided tour of the Castello; only a five-minute walk away. Trom there we travelled to Trevignano Romano for a short lake walk and lunch.
