This coming weekend, the Pope will be visiting Santa Maria di Leuca and Brindisi, in Puglia,
\n\"\"
\nHere’s the schedule: 2 Masses,\u00a0 gatherings with cloistered religious, young people, bishops\u00a0and a gathering of priests.<\/a>
\nEWTN will cover Sunday’s events.<\/a>
\nThe shrine in Santa Maria di Leuca is “Santa Maria de finibus terrae” – <\/em><\/strong>“St. Mary at the end of the earth” – here’s an amazing photo of the church, courtesy a Flickr user.<\/a>\u00a0It is here, the story goes, that St. Peter landed and then began his journey to Rome. <\/a>
\nALSO coming up this weekend is the International Eucharist Congress in Quebec.
\nThe website and schedule is here<\/a>
\n\"\"Preceding the Congress – which means today through Friday – the International Theology Symposium on the Eucharist is being held. The program for that is here. <\/a>
\nEWTN will be providing some coverage of the Congress.<\/a>
\nOf course the Canadian Catholic network Salt + Light will be blanketing the coverage <\/a>– can we access their livestream down here in the US? Anyone know?
\nFinally, er..the United States Catholic Bishops are meeting this week in Orlando. <\/a>
\nI don’t see any EWTN coverage of that meeting. Most of Thursday’s sessions are open to the media and only about an hour on Friday. I don’t know if there will be any livestreaming of the open sessions on the USCCB website (they did provide that for the Pope’s visit, remember.) So if you know, let us know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history. She received an MA in Church History from Vanderbilt University, where she wrote a thesis on the changing role of women in 19th century American Protestantism, and the ways Scripture was used to justify those changes. She worked as as a teacher in Catholic high schools and a Parish Director of Religious Education and started writing for the diocesan press - the Florida Catholic - in 1988. Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel. Amy has five children, ranging in age from 26 to 4 and was married to Michael Dubruiel, who died unexpectedly in February 2009. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/author\/awelborn"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
