Barb Arland-Fye, a new master’s graduate, poses with Sister Joan Lescinski, CSJ, president of St. Ambrose University in Davenport, and Bishop Martin Amos during the university’s spring commencement May 11.

Four years ago I enrolled in the Master of Pastoral Theology program anticipating two significant benefits. First, the potential to develop a deeper understanding of the Catholic Church, which in turn would enhance my work as editor of The Catholic Messenger; and second, personal growth in my faith journey and participation in the life of the Church.
What a marvelous, challenging journey! My perspective has been broadened, my faith continues to mature and my questions multiply. I have become part of a close-knit faith community, and hopefully a better editor of our diocesan newspaper.
