During the recent pilgrimage, Father Kevin Tuitu’u c.p. was principal celebrant at our Mass at the Shrine of Saint Gemma in Lucca. Saint Gemma’s tomb can be seen under the altar. The shrine church is also the monastery church of the Passionist Nuns, who can be heard singing during this clip of the offertory of the Mass.

Laus Crucis 
Your brief clip brought back some very happy memories of my trip to Lucca this Summer with my family and that of another former Passionist Novice, Mario Vannini. We all greatly enjoyed our visit and the ladies in the repository next door were very kind in showing us some of Saint Gemmas personal effects. It really is a worthwhile trip to make if anyone is interested in the Passionists and Gemma in particular. On a pervious trip four years ago, a lovely lady called Maria took myself and my wife to Gemma’s house, located on the now named Via Santa Gemma Galgani. This was a very interesting and moving experience indeed. I am not sure if this trip is till possible, but it used to be the case that Maria would bring anyone interested to the house each day at midday.
Thanks for the memory.
Been there!
