Every year the priests of the Archdiocese of Louisville gather for an assembly, at St. Meinrad Seminary in southern Indiana. This year I was able to join them for the four-day event.
The priests always say the best part of the assemblies is getting together with friends and colleagues.
After a brief opening session, the group walked through an interior courtyard on the way to their first dinner together.
The meals were fantastic, both for the food and for the conversations.
After an evening prayer, the group returned to the dining room for an address by Archbishop Shelton Fabre who spoke of his hopes for this time together.
