College Visits – Fall 2025 Semester Wrap-Up:
As we come to a close to college visits for this semester, I give thanks to God for the wonderful opportunities to meet, pray, and spend time with many of our students across different colleges in New York and Connecticut. I am especially grateful to all the youth who took the time and made every arrangement to make these gatherings possible. The efforts, hospitality, and willingness of our students to create time for prayer and study have been a blessing and a testimony for God and the Church.
