An Invitation to the Diocese — The Journey Home -- A Gift for Pope Leo XIV
As a new bronze casting of Lexington artist John Regis Tuska's Energy Source is being created at the University of Kentucky foundry for a proposed gift to Pope Leo XIV, our community is invited to contribute to a special Book of Reflections intended to accompany the sculpture to Rome.
Individuals and families of all ages are welcome to create a handwritten message, prayer, drawing, or personal reflection on an 8½ -inch square sheet of paper. In light of the Pope's recent health concerns, messages of hope, encouragement, and healing are especially welcome. There is no cost to participate.
Completed pages may be delivered to Jennifer Longworth at Mary Queen through November. Seth Tuska will personally collect them for inclusion in the Book of Reflections.
