Thank you to local organizers: Benny Monico and Sandra Pobega, President of the Association Treirsani nel Mondo
, along with many others from the community and the ICC who setup a wonderful visit with Matteo Guidolin, the Mayor of Riese Pio X, Italy – and Mario Zenta, his Vice-Mayor!

They were celebrating the 45th anniversary of the founding of the Pope Pius X Committee. The Pope was born in their town, in this house pictured below. It’s a historic site now for their community:

We had a great time discussing the many blessings of the Italian community here in Guelph, especially the efforts to bring the beautiful “the family” statue to St. George’s Square in our downtown!

He invited me to visit him! I just might take him up on that offer!! That would be fun! 

Take care,

Cam
