The Station Churches

The people of the Diocese of Rome have a wonderful tradition known as the Station Churches, in which people gather at a different church in the diocese each day of Lent. Yesterday, it was the Basilica of Santa Sabina (where the Holy Father led the celebration).

Today, the Station Church is San Giorgio in Velabro.

The Pontifical North American College, where diocesan seminarians from the United States and Canada live when studying in Rome, has a wonderful guide to the Station Churches, which can be found on their website: www.pnac.org.
