If you were at our last French class, you already know that Fr. Joseph, our original Spiritual Director for the pilgrimage, had to bow out for some medical issues (I saw him yesterday and he is looking good!). I'm sad for him not to be journeying with us, although I'm sure we will all carry him with us in prayer.
Fortunately, we have a wonderful replacement! Msgr. John Wall (pictured, left) has just retired for a second time (this time from campus ministry at the Newman Center in Chapel Hill. If that's not your school fear not: in his long career he has served at Duke AND NC State, too!), and is most excited to accompany us to France! Msgr. Wall is a seasoned traveler, teller of endless stories, and a man of deep faith.
One other small change: the boat ride on the Siene will happen the day we arrive in Paris, because our final night's dinner is at a rather cosmopolitan hour and they don't want to wear us out completely!
