Bicentennial Celebrations: Day Three

July 15, 2015

The first two days of the celebration were devoted to the Congregation’s history and spirituality.  On the third day the pilgrims had a chance to share in community with each other.  The day was spent in Albano which was one of the first houses St. Gaspar founded.  The time there included a tour of the facility, including the church and museum, as well as the premiere of a short film about the Missionaries of the Precious Blood titled The Dream Continues.  The film can be found at:  https://www.cppsmissionaries.org/?page_id=11338 .  Following lunch, all the pilgrims joined together in different songs and dances from their cultures.
