Domus Australia opens



I know one or two Australians read this blog. Today the Holy Father, at the request of Cardinal Pell, opened the Domus Australia as a centre for pilgrims from the antipodes to the Eternal City. The full ceremony is on the site under events.
This has been part of a long term project of Cardinal Pell to strengthen and underscore Australia's links with  the Holy See.
Congratulations to Australian friends.
