A gathering “deeply missed” makes a triumphant return
After a couple of years of reduced activity due to Covid, the Diocesan Women’s Conference held on October 15 at the OnCenter in Syracuse was a sold-out celebration of fellowship and faith. More than 450 women attended a conference that was “deeply missed” according to Elizabeth Stewart, the chair of the Commission on Women in Church & Society and emcee of the day’s events. She shared that she hoped that attendees would ”takeaway the joy Jesus gives us in the Eucharist and be the light the world desperately needs.”

Pope prays for unity of church as he celebrates anniversary of Vatican II
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Second Vatican Council was the universal Catholic Church’s response to God’s love and to Jesus’ command to feed his sheep, Pope Francis said, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the council’s opening. The council reminded the church of what is “essential,” the pope said: “a church madly in love with its Lord and with all the men and women whom he loves,” one that “is rich in Jesus and poor in assets,” a church that “is free and freeing.” Pope Francis presided over the Mass Oct. 11 in St. Peter’s Basilica, where the council sessions were held in four sessions from 1962 to 1964.
