Available Right NowGod’s love guides doctor helping refugees after years of caring for the poor in AfricaIf you wanted to share a defining moment from the life of Dr. Ellen Einterz, the natural instinct would be to start with a story from her 24 years of providing love and medical care to people in one of the poorest countries in Africa, people devastated by the impacts of AIDS, cholera and malaria. But maybe the better beginning involves the e-mail that changed the direction of her life in a way that still stuns the 63-year-old physician.

The pilgrimage is sponsored by the archdiocesan Office of Marriage and Family Life. Father Eric Augenstein, archdiocesan director of vocations, will serve as its spiritual director. The World Meeting of Families was started in 1994 by St. John Paul II and is held every three years. The 2018 theme is “The Gospel of the Family: Joy for the World.” (Page 9)
