Vespers with Leo

On the 6th of October at Domus Australia l was fortunate enough to be able to celebrate vespers as a deacon to Pope Leo XIV.

The celebration was for the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, and was for the rededication of the Domus Australia chapel to Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii.

What made it special was an image of our Lady of the Rosary which was given to the chapel many years ago by soon to be canonized Blessed Bartolo Longo, which Pope Leo blessed before vespers started.
