Each year a group of youngsters and their chaperones from Holy Cross Parish in Champaign--where I served last year--comes to D.C. to tour our capital city.
This year I had the great joy of welcoming them at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on May 29, concelebrating at the 5:15 p.m. Mass that they participated in, and showing them a bit of the Shrine--including our Salesian highlights like the altar of Mary Help of Christians
and the sculptures of St. John Bosco and St. Dominic on the west exterior wall.
And then of spending additional time with them at supper that evening and for an hour or so the following day at the National Museum of Natural History (part of the Smithsonian).
