The Rome Experience, May 20th - July 2nd, 2013

"Rome and the Papacy – Retracing the History of Our Faith"

Pope Benedict XVI explains in his Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei (no. 13): "One thing that will be of decisive importance in this Year [of Faith] is retracing the history of our faith, marked as it is by the unfathomable mystery of the interweaving of holiness and sin."

In the midst of the Year of Faith, the seminarians in The Rome Experience 2013 will have the extraordinary opportunity to be immersed in the history, theology, and art of the Faith through the study of the lives of the Popes and saints and the great monuments of Rome.
