The Holy Father will be making his annual visit to the Roman Major Seminary on Friday. He will join the seminarians and their rector in celebration on the eve of the Feast of Our Lady of Trust, patroness of the seminary.
At six on Friday afternoon, Pope Benedict will pay a visit to the Roman Major Seminary, where he will be met by the Cardinal Vicar of Rome Agostino Vallini and the seminary's rector, Msgr. Giovanni Tani.
While there, the Holy Father will lead a group of seminarians from the Major Seminary, two other seminaries and two colleges in scriptural readings. He will stay with them afterward for dinner, before returning to the Vatican.
In an interview with Vatican Radio, Msgr. Tani said that this year marks the first time that all of the seminarians from the other seminaries and colleges of the Diocese of Rome will be attending the celebration.
