During our recent pilgrimage to Rome, we were able to visit the North American College, where many of our American priests receive their education. One of our own parish boys is completing his time there, and was recently ordained to the diaconate in Rome. Deacon Brian Noel showed us around the College, and we had a great time. As many times as I've been to Rome, I'd never had the chance to visit before. Here's a picture of Deacon Noel and me, pointing to his picture in the class photo hanging in one of the hallways:

My poor prayers for that intention...
