In our Winter issue, we feature the visit of Archbishop Pierre, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, who promotes Pope Francis’ Synod on Synodality, and Bishop Mulvey who officially opens the diocesan phase with Mass at Corpus Christi Cathedral. In his message to the diocese, Bishop Mulvey reflects on Christmas and God’s Synodality. Also, in “Jesus says,” Father Brady Williams invites us to make a synodal journey as the shepherds did the night Christ was born. In the section “Woman of Strength,” Sister Annette Wagner reflects on the strength of Mary, the mother of Jesus, whose life experiences are depicted in Scripture snapshots, focusing on significant moments of her life. We also feature the vocation stories of Father Richard Gutierrez and Sister Mary Aloysius and a married couple, Avelino and Tanya Rodriguez, who help other couples strengthen their marriages through the Couples for Christ ministry at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish.
