On July 30, pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia took part in the National U.S. Pilgrim Gathering in Rome, hosted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). Held at the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, the event included a Eucharistic procession, benediction, and adoration.

Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez joined fellow bishops and offered a reflection captured by Catholic News Service (CNS) in its official highlight reel. Watch the video here. (Photos: Archdiocese of Philadelphia)
