- PHOTO: Mater Dei Pilgrims led by Fr. Robert Butz, pray the rosary at sunset by the serene shores of the Sea of Galilee, at the spot where Jesus was spotted by St. John while fishing with St. Peter and the other Apostles after the Resurrection. In this place, Jesus asked Peter if he loved him 3 times, thus reiterating Peter's Primacy (the same name is given to this area). (October 2013)
