Bravo, Brendan

I wish to thank you for reporting on the meeting of Brendan Kelly and Pope John Paul II (“The Pope's Friend Brendan,” Oct. 21-28). It is not often that a human-interest story touches me as powerfully as this one did. My prayers will be with Brendan and his family.

President

The Saint Leo University Board of Trustees invites applications and nominations for the position of President. The new president will succeed Dr. Edward Dadez, who first joined Saint Leo University in 2000, became president in 2022, and is retiring. President Dadez’ leadership has provided stability and enhanced financial sustainability.

Waiting with joyful hope for the dawn of Easter morning.

Completing Lent Properly

This weekend we embark upon the holiest week of the year. It is an opportunity to journey with our Lord and have revealed to us the glory of the Paschal Mystery. This week on Register Radio, Register contributor Fr. Jeffrey Kirby returns to help us finish our lent properly. And, the fashion giant Chanel is restoring Aubazine Abbey, a jewel of medieval Cistercian heritage nestled in the heart of southwestern France. Solène Tadié, Europe Correspondent for the National Catholic Register, tells us why.
