Today, March 10, a flood of young people invaded the Shrine marking 100 days until their year end scholastic exams.
It is estimated that about 10,000 high school students arrived, beyond all expectations (the new Shrine church was crowded beyond capacity), originating mostly from Abruzzo, but also with participants from the Marche and Lazio regions of Italy.
The young people spent a day in a spirit of genuine happiness. They participated in the celebration of the Mass, had special pens blessed, prayed in front of St. Gabriel, the Saint of young people, and finally celebrated enthusiastically in the square of the Shrine.
It was truly a carefree, cheerful, and festive day for thousands of young people alongside Saint Gabriel– also known as the saint of joy!
