Day 2 was a busy and enriching day for the Cork and Ross pilgrims in Rome.
The day began with a visit to the beautiful Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls, where the group passed through their first Holy Door of the pilgrimage. The group held morning prayer outside the basilica, during which Bishop Fintan presented each pilgrim with a special spiritual journal.

In the afternoon, the pilgrims made their way to St Peter’s Square for the official Opening Mass for the Jubilee of Youth. After Mass, Pope Leo made a surprise appearance, passing by the Cork and Ross group - a truly memorable moment for all.
