Another week, another city for travel

In the past few weeks, I have been on a road trip to Indianapolis for a mission appeal and up to Washington DC to Catholic University for a week of studying.  This week, it is to my hometown of Chicago.  I am preaching a mission appeal at Our Lady of Hope in Rosemont, near O'Hare Airport.  I had dinner with my brother Friday night - Barnaby's pizza - our favorite.  On Friday, I hiked 12 miles along the lakefront.  This weekend, I preach at all the masses at Our Lady of Hope.  I love preaching mission appeals and love being able to visit my hometown of Chicago, but I must say, that I am ready to stay in Pearl for a while.
