We had a special guest at our morning tea and staff meeting today: Cardinal John Dew! Also our former Archbishop (he's Archbishop Paul's immediate predecessor), Cardinal John shared what it was like taking part in the recent Conclave that elected Pope Leo. He also gave thanks for all the prayers, from millions of people from around the world, for the election of the Pope.

Thanks for speaking to us! 😁✝
