Thank you so much, Fr. PF, for writing about that chapel. I should have done so, but I didn't even check to see whether this Msgr. Strambi had been canonized - he certainly sounded like a saint, and his death - now it is delightful to know that he was raised to the honors of the altar.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't know the school you speak of, but I do know that street, past the Jesuits' building. I should very much like to see that painting some time.<BR/><BR/>If you would ever have the leisure to snap a photo and send it to our email (cornellcatholiccircle at gmail.com), I would be most grateful and eager to post it on the blog.

In the picture, Saint Vincent is shown saying Mass; a Passionist brother, in his habit and mantle, kneels on the altar steps serving the Mass; through the open door of the chapel can be seen the Pope lying on his deathbed, surrounded by cardinals and other members of his household.<BR/>The painting is probably the one which was presented to Pope Pius XI when Saint Vincent Mary was beatified in 1925.<BR/>The chapel is upstairs in the Scuola Pontificia Pio IX, a Catholic school in Via dei Cavalieri del Santo Sepolcro, which is the little street leading from the entrance to the Generalate of the Jesuits to Via della Conciliazione.

The painting is probably the one which was presented to Pope Pius XI when Saint Vincent Mary was beatified in 1925.
The chapel is upstairs in the Scuola Pontificia Pio IX, a Catholic school in Via dei Cavalieri del Santo Sepolcro, which is the little street leading from the entrance to the Generalate of the Jesuits to Via della Conciliazione.
