"HEART OF ITALY"
Rome ¯ Vatican City ¯Assisi ¯ Siena ¯ Florence
The College of Saint Mary
Chorus and Musica Sacra, the community
chorus based at CSM, traveled to Italy during Spring
Break 2008. Choir members sang for Mass
at St. Peter's Basilica and the Tomb of St. Francis. The CSM choirs also sang for our Holy Father,
Pope Benedict XVI, during his weekly general audience. Concerts in Florence and Rome, visits to
museums and ancient landmarks, and pilgrimages to sacred sites of the Christian
faith completed this once-in-a-lifetime travel opportunity.
Friends of the
college joined the "Presidential Tour," participating fully in the
itinerary and enjoying the musical offerings.
