Pilgrimage to Rome

[Colorado_Mike]

I am traveling with my family (5 kids under 15 and spouse) to Rome in March. I am looking for some help in making it a good pilgrimage, particularly any kind of spiritual guide or appropriate prayers or materials that would help. Anything is welcome.

Thanks!

I love the Capuchin crypt beneath the church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini on the Via Veneto near Piazza Barberini, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. The Catacomb of Callixtus is also great, but it was not easy for my sister and I to get there and back-- the drivers of the buses we took were not helpful.

Read up on the pickpockets, especially the ones on the #64 bus. Keep your valuables securely under your clothes where you can clasp them, be very wary if swarmed by a crowd of children or if a women holding an infant gets very close to you. These are distractions/covers for the pocket picking.
