Happy St. Jude Day--A Day Later
















Greetings to all....





I am finally able to connect.... I am leaving Istanbul this morning for Rome. It is difficult to put into a summary all that I have seen. After Ephesus, we traveled up the coast of Turkey to the ancient city of Troy and then to Gallipoli [a place similar to the Normany coast for the British/Australians in WW I]. From there we returned to Istanbul and visited Hagia Sophia, which is a church built first in the 5th century. It then was turned into a Mosque and now is a museum. There are still some mosaics of Jesus, Our Lady and St. John the Baptist. Amazing.....





I hope that all at St. Jude celebrated their 'feast day' yesterday. Know that I was thinking of you throughout the day!





Peace....as the journey continues to the final steps of St. Paul.





Fr. Steve
