What is it like walking the sacred streets of Rome on a papal pilgrimage just as major news breaks directly from the Holy Father himself? On The Son Rise Morning Show, co-host Matt Swaim checks in with Teresa Tomeo live from Italy, where she is co-leading a pilgrimage alongside Deacon Dom Pastore and EWTN’s Dr. Matthew Bunson.

Tomeo shares updates from the pilgrims' visits to major Roman basilicas—including St. John Lateran and St. Mary Major—and reflects on Pope Leo XIV’s direct, transparent Angelus announcement regarding his upcoming surgery at Gemelli Hospital. Coinciding with the October 12 feast day of Bl. Carlo Acutis, Tomeo describes the powerful experience of visiting Acutis’s tomb at the Church of St. Mary Major in Assisi during this 800th anniversary year of St. Francis. Plus, she previews upcoming pilgrimage reports and interviews on EWTN's Catholic Connection, including Dr. Matthew Bunson's insights on the papal conclave history in Arezzo. Stream now to listen!
