On a recent pilgrimage of thanksgiving to Italy with some of the leaders of our Archdiocesan Synod, I had the privilege of spending a few days with them in Assisi. I have been enamored with Assisi for nearly four decades. The medieval art and architecture are unparalleled, the vistas breathtaking, the citizens unfailingly kind and the pastas amazing, especially in truffle season.

I have been overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude each time I think of how God has blessed this local Church through the willingness of so many to be part of our Archdiocesan Synod. The liturgies, presentations, discussions and voting were all manifestations for me of the presence of the Holy Spirit and of the rich blessings that God has bestowed upon us.
