Fr. Matthew and St. Isidore youth traveled to Rome last summer to immerse themselves in holy places, become friends with the saints, and grow deeper in faith alongside a million young Catholics from around the world.
When I think back on the St. Isidore Youth Pilgrimage to Rome, there is something that stood out to me more than anything else — Adoration. At Tor Vergata, where we slept overnight in the field with one million young Catholics from around the world, the Blessed Sacrament was presented in the beautiful Monstrance, with music, during a vigil with the Holy Father.
I felt God present. I felt God in a way I had never felt in my life. There I truly realized that God is real and I am a friend of His.
There were a lot of things I loved about Rome, but that was truly the most significant and meaningful experience I had.
I felt God present. I felt God in a way I had never felt in my life.
