At the annual Feminine Genius Brunch, hosted by the archdiocese’s Respect Life Office, women gathered at Saint Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers to reflect on Pope Saint John Paul II’s teaching in “Mulieris Dignitatem” on the vocation and dignity of women. Keynote speaker Sister Faustina Maria Pia, S.V., invited participants “to be living wells of God’s love everywhere.”

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.
