Around Rome: the Vatican and the Roman Coliseum

In October for the Beatification of Mary MacKillop, the first Australian Saint, many Australians have come to Rome. As part of they journey I have visited with them some of the most important Roma sites, such as the Vatican: Saint Peter's and the Sistine Chapel in the morning....

Here they are preparing the Square for Sunday 17th October....there will be many people on that day in Saint Peter's Square!!!!
