Genoa to New York: Today is the 15th
Manage episode 475980719 series 3298548
Welcome back, Catholic Pilgrims. Today, Mother Cabrini and a few of the Sisters get an opportunity to go into the city of Gibraltar for a few hours. Their hope is to get to Mass, but, unfortunately, the priests have all left for dinner.
What I didn’t realize is that Gibraltar is still a British Territory. If you were to look at a map of Gibraltar you would see that the port is on the west side of the city and that is likely where Mother Cabrini and the Sisters got off the ship. Right near the port there are quite a few churches, which makes sense. There are at least two that I found that were a possibility for Mother Cabrini to visit, as they were around at that time.
I’ll link in the shownotes the oldest one, which is Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned.
Let’s hear about Mother’s time in Gibraltar by opening to page 87.
