Beginning Again in Rome

Campus Life Update

On Sunday, May 18, students had a once-in-a-lifetime experience, attending the inaugural Mass of Pope Leo XIV. Although an estimated 200,000 people attended the Mass, some CatholicTech members got remarkably close to the pope as he was driven through the crowd. Pope Leo gave a simple but beautiful command during his homily: “Let us walk toward God and love one another.” It is fitting during this Jubilee Year, one which focuses on hope and mercy, that our new Holy Father sow the seeds of unity in the faithful. 

Two members of CatholicTech also took a weekend trip to Edinburgh, Scotland to hear the tunes of bagpipes and see the sharp Scottish skylines. While there, they toured a dazzling Scottish castle and hiked Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano. Back in Italy, our resident foodies enjoyed some delicious sushi. Our school’s proximity to Rome gives students access to a myriad of cultural cuisines and international grocery stores, and our newly remodeled kitchen provides students a place to test their culinary skills with cuisine of every sort.
