Rome Pilgrimage 2023: Photos

The FIUV was delighted to take part in the 2023 'ad Petri Sedem' Pilgrimage. I don't have any photographs of the Vespers in the Pantheon from this year, but here are the other events.

FIUV General Assembly 2023

IMG_3632

Last weekend the annual Summorum Pontificum 'Ad Petri Sedem' Pilgrimage took place, in which the FIUV participated. Following the singing of Sext in St Peter's, we had our General Assembly in the afternoon. Our General Assemblies take place every two years.

This is rather bad photo of us beginning the meeting by singing the Veni Creator Spiritus. For the first time, we allowed online participation, via Zoom, and about half of those who took part used this option. About 20 member associations attended in total, from all over the world: from Mexico to Japan, from Russia to India, from Canada to Argentina.

As well as other business, the General Assembly (re)elects the President, and members of the Council, of the Federation. Following the General Assembly, the Council (re)elects the Secretary and Treasurer, and can co-opt extra members. The Officers of the Federation are now as follows:

President, Joseph Shaw (Latin Mass Society, England and Wales)

Secretary, Andris Amolins (Una Voce Latvia)

Treasurer, Monika Rheinschmitt (Pro Missa Tridentina, Germany)


The President and Treasurer are the same as last time, but the Secretary is new: perhaps the first time we have had an officer from the Baltic States, though Mr Amolins is a long-standing member of the Council. Here he is with his national flag, outside St Peter's.

Walking Pilgrimage in Estonia

We've all heard about the Chartres Pilgrimage in France, the Christus Rex Pilgrimage in Australia, the Covadonga Pilgrimage in Spain, the Walsingham Pilgrimage in England, and the similar pilgrimages in the United States and Canada. But in Estonia?

Here is a nice video from last year about the walking pilgrimage from — from Urvaste to Vastseliina: a distance of 80 kilometres [50 miles] covered in three days. This year numbers were up, and forty pilgrims walked it.
