On our last night in Rome, the Trinity Pilgrims gather for a final meal overlooking a lovely courtyard.
Valerie shares who her “prayer partner” was for the trip at the final dinner for the Trinity Pilgrim’s last night in Rome. Every pilgrim had a prayer partner on the trip, and on the last evening we shared a word of encouragement with one another.
Gathering for dinner on the final evening, Trinity pilgrims (in the tradition of Fr. Daniel Simons) exchange stories of holy moments shared and express gratitude, at the “big reveal” of secret prayer partners. Feel the love!
