1 thought on “Earthquake destroys Basilica of Saint Benedict”
I was fortunate enough to visit the Basilica of St Benedict in Norcia in 2015, and I was awed by its beauty & history. Our hotel was right by the Bascilica. I could never imagine the destruction that would happen in 2016! I loved the town & the Benedictine Monks of Norcia who are the caretakers & were the residents. My prayers continue to be for them and the other residents of Norcia. . I was getting email updates from the Monks after the first earthquake of 2016 but have heard nothing since the second one.
