Because I had a class at Angelicum I arrived there half hour late. The square in front of St. Peters had been filled with pilgrims especially due to the Canonization of the saints on Oct. 24. Two days ago when I realized that Archbishop Vigneron was attending the Synod I expressed my desire to the Detroit priests who are in Rome for studies to meet the Archbishop. They were not sure about him coming to their house and promised to inform me if that happens. But when I was standing in front of the fountain I saw Archbishop Vigneron coming towards me. He saw me and I saw him and he came to me and gave a hug. Then I introduced my friend priest (Fr. Justin) and Anna & Mark. It was a blessed moment. He spent five minutes with us and gave us a blessing at the end. He also told me that he had received several letters from St. Thomas asking him not to allow me to leave that parish. It was a humbling moment for me. I stood there and prayed for all my friends.
