Bishop Smith's weekly E-pistle
| Bishop Kirk. S. Smith
Bishop of Arizona Almost 30 years in the ministry and I had never been to a Cursillo gathering-up to now. This past Sunday evening I was asked to officiate at the closing ceremony for the first Cursillo held in this Diocese in about 10 years. Saying that I was impressed would be an understatement.
