Hundreds of villagers and tourists cheered Pope John XXlll when he left his summer residence to say Mass at the parish church in Castelgandolfo. It was only a short walk from the gate of the Papal Villa across the cobblestoned square to the door of the parish church. The church had been built in 1662 by Bernini and only a small congregation could enter the small church with Pope John XXlll After celebrating the Mass, the Pope walked back to his villa - blessing the crowd as he passed. Later he appeared on the balcony of his villa and blessed the people and the procession.
