Fifteen sites or “stations” are grouped geographically into five itinerar- ies. The user may want to select an itiner- ary to visit in the course of a morning or an afternoon. It would be good for pilgrims to Rome to remember that most churches are open only in the early morning until noon- time, and then again in the late afternoon. Unfortunately, some of the sites can only be viewed from the exterior since there is no admittance to the general public. The text of each site is divided into three parts: (1) the general history of the place; (2) the lo- cale’s importance in Passionist history; and Passionist piligrimage in Rome (3) a short prayer that may serve for spiritual inspiration.

  • Italy 2016 Itinerary
    Italy 2016 with Dr. Marc Shapiro July 26 - August 3, 2016 ITINERARY (subject to change) Tuesday 26 July : Rome Arrival in Rome airport, followed by transfer to the hotel. Begin sightseeing (from the hotel) at 1 PM in the former ghetto area of Rome. Rome is the oldest Jewish community in the Diaspora, and its ghetto remained longer than anywhere else in Europe. As part of our tour, we will see the Jewish Mu- seum, the Great Synagogue, and the Trastevere, where there is evidence of the medieval Jewish com- munity. We will also visit the Campo Di Fiori where, on Rosh Ha-Shanah 1553, the Talmud was burned. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner. Accommodations : Hotel Ponte Sisto Wednesday 27 July : Rome Breakfast. This morning begins with a visit to the Arch of Titus and its famous Menorah that, as we will learn, does not correspond to other ancient descriptions. We will then visit the Colosseum, with its legacy of horrors and bravery as slaves fought for their lives to the roars of spectators cheering and booing. This massive structure was actually built with slaves brutally seized after putting down the Jewish Revolt in Eretz Yisrael. Continue to the ruins of the Roman Forum, an international center filled with great palaces and all the pomp that we connect with names like Caesar, Nero and Ci- cero. Later, drive to the Spanish Steps and soon find yourself in the romantic setting of the glorious Trevi Fountain, beloved spot for many great films made in “Roma.” After lunch, enjoy the afternoon at leisure to explore Rome on your own or join an optional tour of the Vatican Museum.

  • Monastery of Sts. John and Paul
    PASSIONIST RESOURCES THE MONASTIC COMPLEX OF STS. JOHN AND PAUL, ROME (400-1773) Fr. Tito Paolo Zeca On the foundation of the Domus, the Roman houses beneath the Basilica, in which the soldier brothers John and Paul were martyred at the time of the Emperor Julian the Apostate (+ 363), first an oratory was built and then a Basilica. Next to it, there was also a building to offer hospitality to the devotees of the cult of martyrs and to house those who would care for the sacred buildings. However, there is little information about the buildings and their caretakers until about the year 1000. We know that the first religious dwelling was built next to the Basilica on the northern side, of which there are very few traces remaining because it became amalgamated into subsequent buildings and structures of the Basilica. The documentation is more reliable after 1118 when the rebuilding and expansion of the Monastery that eventually developed was completed. It extended towards the bell tower and used the mighty substructures of the Claudianum (the rudiments of the Temple of Claudius). The Titular, Cardinal Theobald, undertook this work at the time of Pope Paschal II (1099-1118). The Basilica and monastery, in fact, had been badly damaged by looting done by the militias of Robert Guiscard in 1084. The stylistic changes, in Cistercian style, and the jurisdiction of the clergy of the Basilica was under the Abbey of Casamari. They provide valuable information about the monastic community that resided here. In the 15th century, a period of serious decline for the city, the Basilica and the monastery fell into serious disrepair.
