That’s Trinity student Kelly Ventura practicing her welcome for Pope Francis with his likeness at the National Shrine!<\/p>\n

Pope Francis has arrived<\/a> in the United States!\u00a0 He appears beaming and energized in the photos from Andrews Air Force Base where his plane from Cuba yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Business Programs Director\u00a0Paul Williams sent along this photo of the Pope passing by on Massachusetts Avenue on the way to the Nunciature (the Vatican embassy in DC).<\/p>\n

\"WILLIAMS\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The photo has a great story:\u00a0Paul’s wife Cathy\u00a0snapped the pic as the Pope waved at\u00a0their sons Wynne and Bryce who practiced great entrepreneurship by setting up a lemonade stand along Mass. Avenue!<\/p>\n

Several hundred members of the Trinity community will be at the Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine\u00a0today when Pope Francis canonizes Blessed Junipero Serra.\u00a0 Dozens of students will also be on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol on Thursday morning when Pope Francis addresses Congress.\u00a0 What a great week!<\/p>\n

Please send me your photos and comments about the visit of Pope Francis!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trinity student Kelly Ventura checked out the scene at the National Shrine this afternoon in anticipation of\u00a0the great ceremonies.\u00a0 What a great T-shirt!\u00a0 Souvenirs galore…<\/p>\n

Trinity Adjunct Professor of\u00a0 Digital Photography Laurence Levin had the great privilege of being in Cuba for the Mass in Revolution Square.\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 I can’t wait to hear his stories.\u00a0 Here are two great photos from his trip:<\/p>\n

What a remarkable moment!\u00a0 Larry spent four days in Cuba visiting the old Cathedral and seminary, and he saw the Pope twice!\u00a0 Larry’s first trip to Cuba was ten years ago with Best Buddies.\u00a0 How great that Americans can start visiting again!<\/p>\n

Back here at Trinity,\u00a0road closures are in effect in anticipation of the afternoon\u00a0Papal Mass at the Shrine — Trinity is closed today,\u00a0Wednesday, September 23, but several hundred students and faculty will be heading to the Mass.<\/p>\n
