St. Bridget, a descendant of the royal house of Sweden, was married to prince Ulfo. After the death of the latter, she founded the Order of the Most Holy Savior, commonly called Bridgettines. She died at Rome in 1373.
The weather was quite fine again today, as it has been fairly regularly of late. Lisa and Katie attended a brief meeting to get all the details for our upcoming weekend trip to Norcia, Italy for the priestly ordination of ITI graduate Br. Benedict. There are about 30 of us making the drive down. We're leaving around 6:00 on Friday and hoping to arrive around 19:00 pm. Then the ordination is Saturday at 11:00, Fr. Benedict's first Mass will be Sunday at 12:00, and we'll be off by 15:00 and hoping to arrive back in Gaming around 3:00 on Monday, just five short hours before Greek class begins. Needless to say, we're quite excited. Bro. Benedict graduated just last year, so we were able to know him all last year; and going to Italy is always an exciting prospect. Although I'm just a touch disappointed that plans to stop for a few hours in Padua on the way there have fallen through. Ah, well...

Ah Padua, of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew and Heath Leger's 10 Things I Hate About You. But I'm sure there will be other opportunities.
Exactly! Not to mention the tomb and basilica of St. Anthony...
