Genoa to Buenos Aires: December 4th

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims, and welcome back. As the steamer lifts anchor and begins the journey, Mother Cabrini has a bit of a reunion with two priests. At first, they don't quite recognize each other, but then the pieces start to fall into place.  One of the priests is the Provincial of the Scolopi in Buenos Aires. So, Scolopi is a Religious order, also known as the Piarists. Piarists are the oldest religious order dedicated to education, specifically to children and youth. This religious order was founded by St. Joseph Calasanz in Italy in 1617.   So, just a small history lesson for today. I was unsure of what Scolopi meant, so once I found out, I knew I had to share it with you to help today's reading make more sense.  With that, let's open to page 252 and begin.
