Archbishop Burke joins other bishops from region in visit to Vatican

At 9 a.m. Monday, St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke and about 15 other U.S. Catholic bishops will gather at the tomb of St. Peter in the Vatican. A Mass there will mark the beginning of a weeklong pilgrimage to Rome for what is called an "ad limina" visit.
...
Besides their meetings with the pope, the bishops use this time to conduct business with the many departments of the Vatican. Burke for instance, will meet this week with members of the Vatican's office on consecrated life (he's the U.S. bishops' liaison with the U.S. association of consecrated virgins), and with Cardinal Francis Arinze, a close adviser to the pope who will visit St. Louis in April for the archdiocese's Gateway Liturgical Conference.
Please remember to keep all of the Bishops in your prayers as they make this visit.
