I’m not sure how many times I visited Rome. My guess would be 7 or 8. Regardless, shortly after I was ordained I was in Rome for a meeting about the beatification of the founder of our community, St. Stanislaus Papczynski (obviously now a saint, since 2016).
The photo if from a second trip later in 2006, once again for a meeting on the beatification. My last trip was 2016 for the canonization. Since then, there has been no reason or opportunity, but even if I never get back there, I am grateful for all the visits I had to the Eternal City.
