- PHOTO: Mater Dei's August pilgrimage to Italy with the amazing Fr. Sam Martin, included a wonderful visit to Loreto, Italy, where the structural part of the Nazareth home of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located. The Shrine of Our Lady of Loreto, patroness of air travelers, airline workers and the air forces from most Christian Countries, is located by the eastern coast of Italy by the beautiful Adriatic Sea. The group enjoyed walks by the beach in Adriatic Sea in addition to visits to Manopello, Lanciano, Siena and a 3 night stay in Assisi! As with all of Mater Pilgrimages to Italy, a top notch pilgrimage of Rome and the Vatican was also included.
