Representatives of Fede e Luce from England, France, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, the United States, and Italy (Milan, Padua, Cuneo, Vercelli, Panna, Reggio Emilia, and Rome) gathered in Rome to prepare for the pilgrimage of October 26–29, 1975.
In the next issue of "INSIEME," we will provide detailed information about the program and registration procedures.
On Saturday, February 1, from 6 to 9 p.m., the three Fede e Luce communities of Rome met for a celebration and Eucharist. The gathering took place in a large hall provided by the Ateneo di Propaganda Fidae. Starting at 5 p.m., Roman friends were there to welcome the roughly five hundred people who came. The celebration began with short skits prepared by the groups, interspersed with songs, applause, and smiles.

Despite the acoustics leaving something to be desired (we apologize), we spent two hours together in joy and peace. After dinner, we closed the evening with the Eucharistic celebration, which for many was the most beautiful and intense moment of the day.
We thank with all our hearts everyone—young and old—who participated, bringing their enthusiasm, their warmth, their generous support.
