New England Bishops Make "Ad Limina" Visits

The New England bishops are currently making their "ad limina" visit to the Vatican, an event that occurs approximately every five years. In addition to meeting with Pope Benedict, the bishops prayed at the tombs of the Apostles, Saint Peter and Saint Paul. They are also meeting with officials from a number of Vatican administrative offices.
