As we prepare to celebrate the closing Mass of the World Meeting of Families with the Holy Father on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, we are so grateful for the opportunity and so edified by the families we have met. We are grateful for the many modes of transportation -- planes, trains and automobiles -- that have brought us here and the people who worked to make each of those modes of travel possible. We are grateful to our community for its support of this venture and for accompanying us in prayer. We are grateful for all the shared stories we will have to tell about every leg of our journey. We are grateful to Pope Francis for bringing all of us together! Here are some photos of our pilgrimage thus far.
