    A timely post — The clergy of the Diocese of Trenton NJ will have a day of recollection at St. Joseph’s Seminary on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008 which will focus on the Year of Paul.

    Pope Benedict’s statement will be helpful together with Pat Griffin’s ongoing ed piece at the Superiors’ meeting last Tuesday in Philadelphia.

    Thanks to famvin.org for the heads up.
