Cardinal Timothy Dolan hosted a special luncheon on Sunday for 200 pilgrims from the Archdiocese of New York at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, where he once served as rector. The gathering took place during a historic period following the death of Pope Francis, offering pilgrims a chance to reflect and pray together.

The event included remarks from Cardinal Dolan and the current rector, Monsignor Thomas Powers, highlighting the deep ties between the Archdiocese of New York and the Roman college. Pilgrims shared their experiences of faith and their memories of Pope Francis.

First pastoral visit brought the archbishop to the East Harlem school and the Franciscan Sisters.

La historia de San Valentín incluye muchas leyendas, y existen diferentes versiones sobre el origen concreto de este santo. Incluso se cree que hubo más de un Valentín. Aunque este día se celebra alrededor del mundo como el Día de los Enamorados, en 1969 se eliminó de calendario católico y se destinó ese día a la festividad de los santos Cirilo y Metodio.
