Grrr. I hate Italian keyboards! So be patient with any weird characters in the post.
Rome is hot. Well, it's not that bad, but it isn't as cool as Norcia. A hint when going to Rome: always plan to go to Saint Peter's early in the morning. I am surprised that even now in late October, the line to get into Saint Peters is still wrapping all the way around the piazza. I guess ever since they started making people go through the metal detectors to get in, the line backs up bad. Back in '93 when I was at the UD Rome campus, getting into Saint Peters was much more simple and there was never a wait, you just went right in.
So, now I start the mad "marathon" of visiting as many Saints as I can. I found an internet point and had to look up some info, so I thought I'd jump on and update the blog too.
And I guess, I'll try to get into Saint Peter's tomorrow morning.

About Me
- Roman Sacristan
- Grizzly young sacristan who loves liturgy and liturgical tradition. I have a bachelor's degree in Catholic theology from the University of Dallas (a Catholic college with a solid theology department). I've worked as a Sacristan in four different parishes in the U.S. and at a shrine in Italy. I'm hoping to make this blog a resource for priests and laity who want to introduce Latin into their parishes, as well as being a resource for doing liturgy correctly, especially in the Mass according to the 2002 Roman Missal, as Pope Benedict XVI called for in his accompanying letter to bishops on "Summorum Pontificum."

You were a '93 UD Romer? I was there in Spring '97 on the new campus at Due Santi.
Spring Romers rule!
We were stuck about an hour outside of Rome by train up in Manziana. Nice town, but the accomodations were not luxurious.
All the REAL Romers were before the Due Sancti campus opened up. LOL.
