Vatican City, circa 1960

A small group of Christian Brothers, from various countries, enjoy a sightseeing outing at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, before an audience with Pope John XXIII.  These Brothers were called to the Generalate in Rome to attend the Second Novitiate, where, for several months, they performed renewal exercises and made a profound study of the life of St. John Baptist de La Salle, his Rules, and his ascetical, pedagogical and administrative methods.
