I had a great flight to Rome from Montreal last night. Of course, for me a "great flight" means I slept most of the way. I did have a chance to catch a nice movie over supper, the recent documentary on Fred Rogers entitled Won't You Be My Neighbor? I definitely recommend it if you haven't see it yet.

I was blessed to have the chance to attend the Synod of Bishops held in Rome in 2018. The topic of the Synod was "Youth, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment". I started a quick blog to allow people back home to share in the experience. I've copied those posts here, and put them in chronological order for easier reading. Enjoy!
