Several groups of altar servers could be seen on Monday in different basilicas in Rome — including the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere and the Church of the Gesù — preparing and celebrating liturgies as part of their pilgrimage in the Eternal CIty. Besides liturgical celebrations, the altar servers will also participate in a variety of activities over the week, including cultural visits to museums and social exchanges with other international pilgrims as well as music, film, and drama festivals. A center providing vocational pastoral support and counseling has also been set up in a location near St. Peter’s Square.
