Rome Retreat of "Traditional" Priests Declared a Huge Success

From February 6 -12 in Rome "traditional" priests and seminarians from around the globe have been on retreat atop the Mons Caelius at the Passionist General House overlooking the Colosseum.

"Sacerdos Alter Christus" was the theme of the spiritual exercises and they were led in Italian by Fr. Alessandro Apollonio of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate and the event was sponsored by Giovani e Tradizione (http://www.giovanietradizione.org/). Priests came from across the Italian peninsula and beyond. It was a real treat to see them in prayer and the joy of priestly fraternity.
