| We have just arrived. Sr Cesarina, Sr Chiara and Sr Tarcisia along with other parishioners. |
 |
| In the background is the old shrine built on the site of St Gabriel's grave. |
 |
| A much larger shrine was built in the 1970's and inaugurated in 1985 by JPII. |
 |
| Facade of the first shrine |
 |
| One of two mosaics on the facade upper part of the Old Shrine. The second mosaic follows. |
 |
A statue of St Gabrielle outside of the chapel where his remains lie in a reliquary. |
 |
| A mosaic of several Passionist saints, including Maria Goretti on the right, who was a parishioner at a Passionist parish. |
 |
| Isn't this a lovely tabernacle? |
 |
| The bell tower. I even recorded the bells ringing at noon. As soon as I can figure out how to download the file from my cell phone to my computer, I will try to post it!! |
 |
| Gran Sasso--the highest point in the Italian Appenine hills. |
 |
| Must I say GORGEOUS? |
