You are invited on a 10 day pilgrimage to Italy, from June 27-July 6, 2015, for the Institute’s Ordinations’ Week in Florence! You will see the young seminarians receive their cassocks and Minor Orders, and you will assist at the Pontifical Masses of Ordinations for the Deacons and Subdeacons, as well as for the Priests, which will be conferred by His Eminence, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke. Receive a guided tour of St. Philip Neri International Seminary and the Institute’s Motherhouse, and visit the beautiful seminary grounds nestled in the Florentine hills among the olive groves and vineyards.
