Emily BennettGlad the Nuncio made it out to those three villages in Idlib. After everything they've been through with the war, displacement, and the earthquake, a visit like that must mean a lot to the families still hanging on there.

Sophia JohnsonYeah, those visits really do lift spirits in places like that. My cousin's parish in Aleppo sent some blankets and school supplies up to one of the Idlib villages last year after the quake, and the families wrote back saying it helped them feel less forgotten. How long was the Nuncio able to stay with them?
