Our second week of classes in Rome ended with Mass and a tour of the Catacombs of St. Sebastian, which
go all the way back to the first century. It was here that liturgical celebrations dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul took place and where St. Sebastian
was buried. What an awesome experience
to be walking down the same tunnels that early Christians walked to
bury and pray for their loved ones. There are an estimated 7 miles of tunnels in the catacombs throughout Rome. For more details: http://www.catacombe.org/uk_index.html S. Mary Juan Camacho, SSND
