Winter Term Finals Week

Campus Life Update

Our students have made it through the winter term! This term has been packed with adventure and academic success, and now the students have made it to spring break. While some students will be traveling for break, many will be staying in Italy and will spend the Easter Triduum in Rome next weekend.

This week was mostly quiet on campus as students prepared for final exams throughout the week. Some students still took exciting study breaks to go to Station Masses in Rome, take trips to new towns, and spend some quality time together on campus in between exams and study groups. One group took a day trip to the nearby town of Nemi, known for its strawberries, its historical charm, and its lake, which competes in beauty with our Lago Albano! While there are a few final assignments to finish up, this weekend will begin a fun but relaxing break. Many have plans to walk to Via Appia Antica, one of the most important and best preserved ancient Roman roads; they will take it from Castelli Romani all the way to Rome on Holy Thursday.

As our students travel back home, in other parts of the world, and around Rome for spring break, please keep them in your prayers as we enter into the beautiful time of Holy Week in a few days. We hope that it will be a restful and reflective time for all of us here and all of our readers at home.
