On May 1, a pilgrimage group from St. Philip Neri/St. Albert the Great parish in Alameda visited Rome, Assisi, Orvieto and Florence in Italy along with pastor Father Joseph Pathiyil. They are pictured here in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City (the world’s smallest country) where they attended mass and heard an address by Pope Francis. Sister Rory Jadlocon holds a copy of Alameda Sun. The Sun truly shines everywhere!
