sisto

Singing in Latin or any language and facing each other down every day in the aisle is not easy, nor is sitting next to each other, day in and day out. The Basilica of San Sisto is one of over sixty minor basilicas among the churches of Rome, and a church since A.D. 600. San Sisto is Pope St. Sixtus II, martyred in 258. Dominicans here, Benedictines, Carmelites, and smaller congregations have maintained tradition.
