Dallas Was Delightful!

Loyola Press and I are blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the Diocese of Dallas, TX, which has resulted in numerous opportunities for me to visit over the years. This past Saturday was one such opportunity, as I served as “retreat master” for about 100 catechists, reflecting on Mary as the Model for the New Evangelization.

Thanks to Lourdes Mayer and Jeanne Jakubowski for inviting me to serve their catechists once again and to Imelda Ramirez for hosting us at the Cathedral Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Thanks to all who came out to make the day so enriching!
