Province of St. Martin de Porres – Dominicans Meet Pope Francis during the Dominican General Chapter
Submitted by Tom Condon, O.P. (Prior Provincial)
On August 4, at the conclusion of the General Chapter of Bologna, all those gathered for the Chapter, including Provincials, members of the Curia, secretaries, interpreters, translators, and representatives of other branches of the Dominican Family, including nuns, sisters, laity, and Dominican Youth Movement, boarded a train from Bologna to Rome. After the two hour, 10 minute trip, we were taken by chartered buses into the Vatican, through the “back door” that tourists never see. We were escorted down long corridors under the watchful eye of the Swiss guard in their colorful uniforms.
