Getting Ready for Rome

Here in Duluth, we are preparing for the crunch at the end of the semester. It's hard to believe that, less than 4 weeks from now, our flight will take off from Minneapolis for a 10-day study tour in Rome and environs. Our itinerary will take us to several locations in Rome; to Subiaco where St. Benedict began his life of prayer while living in a cave; to Assisi, where St. Francis renewed religious life with his emphasis on simplicity; and to the art-haven of Florence. (The Locations links in the sidebar are just a preview.)

All of our arrangements have been handled by the staff at Illume. They have arranged for us to stay in religious guesthouses. Along with Sharon LaTour here at CSS, they have handled most of the headaches - hats off!
