MY NAME IS ELISE STANKUS, and I am a writer, student, and parishioner in the Diocese of Trenton. Earlier this year I began to serve as a freelance journalist with The Monitor and was fortunate enough to be commissioned by our diocesan news media to serve as a correspondent during the General Assembly of the Synod on Synodality in Rome.
This is the second consecutive year that I will have had the immense privilege to spend three weeks in Rome for the Synod gatherings. I am thrilled and honored to be able to share my experiences, hopes, and joys through The Monitor.
