Join us in celebrating the 150-year jubilee of the arrival of Blessed Bartolo Longo, founder of the famous Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii. In this video, Archbishop Tommaso Caputo, Territorial Prelate of Pompeii, shares the inspiring story of Bartolo Longo’s conversion back to the Catholic faith, his devotion to the Rosary, and the founding of the shrine and works of charity that gave rise to the new city of Pompeii. Bartolo Longo was beatified by St. John Paul II in 1980, and his life serves as an example of hope and inclusion in times of crisis.
