Many in the Immaculata community ended the month of September by attending events surrounding the visit by Pope Francis to Philadelphia. Thank you to all who shared their photos with us. Visit the Immaculata University Alumni Facebook page for pictures as we continue to receive, and post, them!
 

For those who did not get into the city, Immaculata hosted its own Festival of Families right on campus. Immaculata's Chaplain, Father Samuel Verruni, conducted a Vigil Mass and a Blessing of Families for those in attendance. You can see photos from the event, here.
