BY Joseph Pronechen
Feb. 11-17, 2001 Issue 
Depending on the time of year you see them, Connecticut's Litchfield Hills are either serene or spectacular.
In spring and summer, the hills form honor guards of thick greenery punctuated by the occasional New England town in a valley. In autumn, the Route 8 corridor is swathed in the brilliant... READ MORE

BY Maggie D. Hall Sacred Heart Church, Tampa, Fla.
January 21-27, 2001 Issue
Thanks to its worldwide exposure as the host city for Super Bowl XXXV on Jan. 28, Tampa may become known only as an NFL hotspot.
But the area called Tampa Bay — which includes the triad of St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa — has more to offer the Catholic visitor than a visit to Raymond James... READ MORE

KEYWORDS: Travel Don't abandon Rome just because the Jubilee is over
January 7-13, 2001 Issue
Twice I heard cheering outside, and twice a glance down to the street below told me why: Pope John Paul II was passing by. After dark, the Holy Father's office window stays lit until 11 — I know, because I could see it from my window.
Apart from the tolling of the bells of St. Peter's Basilica,... READ MORE

BY Thomas A. Szyszkiewicz One-half of Minnesota's Twin Cities is something of a Catholic hot spot
April 30-May 6, 2000 Issue
During the height of news reports that New England was suffering through a real cold snap this past winter, I called my sister, who lives in northeastern Massachusetts, and asked just how cold it was. “Ambient or wind chill?” she asked.
“Ambient,” I replied quickly.
“Minus 1.”
The next thing she... READ MORE
Healer, Preacher, Dominican, Saint
April 1-7, 2000 Issue
St. Vincent Ferrer, whose feast the Church celebrates on April 5, was born in Valencia, Spain, in 1350. He entered the Dominican order when he was 17, and before long became an adviser to the King of Aragon and of the Avignon pope, with whom he sided — in good faith, but erroneously — during a...

St. Vincent Ferrer Church is magnificent in Manhattan
One of my favorite parts of going to New York City is escaping the hustle of mid-town and the bustle around Grand Central Station for the relative peace of the upper-east side.
It's lively here in its own way, but the smaller shops and historic... READ MORE
Many Masterpieces and Mary, Too
BY Barbara Coeyman Hults

St. Mary Above Minerva is one of my first memories of Rome, and it's to that church's neighborhood that I return every time I'm in the city. In the mid-'60s, my mother and I took a mini “grand tour of Europe” and friends who had lived in Rome recommended the Hotel Minerva, on this same piazza. The... READ MORE

When Pope John Paul II opened the Holy Door at the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls (San Paolo fuori le Mura) in January, he looked down the nearly 400-foot nave to the altar that covers the tomb of Saint Paul, whose grave has been preserved, perhaps miraculously, through the centuries.

One of Rome's most evocative pilgrimage routes meanders south from the basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere to the church of Santa Cecilia, passing some of the spots where early Christian martyrs lived, prayed and faced death.

December 5-11, 1999 Issue
Remember the Alamo? Of course we do. But not so well recalled are the early days of the Texas landmark. For its first 75 years, before it was a fortress, the Alamo was a thriving mission that brought Christianity to native Americans.

A generation ago, the area surrounding the National Shrine of St. Thérèse was still relatively rustic — a sprawling expanse of farms, woods and fields. Today the town of Darien, Ill., is, like so much of suburbia, a large, busy subdivision punctuated by strip malls, eating places and convenience... READ MORE
