"The ordination of Tom Niehaus, parishioner of St. John's, to the deaconate, at St. Peter's Basilica, will be one of the highlights of this beautiful and exciting week in Rome."
"We will visit many of the sites and fascinating places of Rome where I lived for four years as a seminarian and spent 4 months of my recent sabbatical."
"It will be a pilgrimage of faith as we have daily Mass in the Basilica's of Rome and other important churches. We will enjoy the history and beauty of the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel."
"We will join the North American seminarians for an audience with Pope Benedict XVI and have the opportunity for time at the North American College with our seminarians from the diocese of Winona and the surrounding dioceses of our state."
