A visit home from Timothy Broglio, Papal Nuncio |
 |
 |
| Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio,
JCD, Papal Nuncio to the Dominican Republic and Apostolic Delegate
to Puerto Rico, returned to his native Cleveland last week to speak
at John Carroll on “Hopes and Challenges for the Church of Latin America:
A view from the Dominican Republic.” Earlier he joined members of
the Jesuit community at Mass in Saint Francis Chapel to celebrate
the 25th anniversary of the papacy of John Paul II. "It's good
to be in this environment (at a Jesuit university). I've studied under
the auspices of the Jesuits for 15 years," said Archbishop Broglio,
a graduate of St. Ann School, St. Ignatius High, Boston College and
Georgetown. |
