Bishop Andrew Cozzens and I just returned from the annual weeklong retreat of the bishops of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. We were blessed to have as our retreat master Father Scott Traynor, who did a phenomenal job of giving a diverse group of bishops lots of food for meditation and growth. While Father Traynor is a priest of the Diocese of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, we took pride in the fact that he grew up in our archdiocese and still has a great affection for the local Church that formed him.
