The Catholic Company Presents: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Did you know that the Vatican has an escape tunnel?
Vatican City has many incredible sites and treasures to encounter, both big and small, and there is so much more to discover beyond the obvious!
Atop the old Vatican wall between St. Peter’s Basilica and the Castel Sant’Angelo is the Passetto di Borgo, a passageway that is 800 meters long—that’s over a mile! On the outside, this corridor looks like a typical city wall—but it actually holds a passageway that the pope can get through if he’s ever in danger. In 1494, under Charles VIII, France invaded Italy during the Italian War of 1494-1498. When Charles VIII’s troops descended on Vatican City, Pope Alexander VI passed through the Passetto to avoid danger.
The latest papal escape through the Passetto was during the Sack of Rome in 1527. Pope Clement VII avoided 20,000 troops from the Holy Roman Empire under Charles V. Most of the Swiss Guard were killed defending the Pope during this invasion, but Clement VII survived, thanks to this secret tunnel. The Carmelite Silver Tea will be held on Saturday, September 18th from 10 am – 3 pm Central Time at the Carmelite Monastery (Junction of US2/M-95 in Iron Mountain). The The Passetto deteriorated over time after the Sack of Rome and remained closed to the Annual Silver Tea includes Iced Tea, Lemonade and cookies. Their famous homemade bread public.
