Date: September 24, 2015

Nancie Brown, receptionist at the Rockford Diocesan Administration Center, won a trip from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to Philadelphia from Sept. 24-27. Besides airfare and hotel, the trip includes special seating tickets to the pope’s talk at the World Meeting of Families.

She entered the contest, which awarded this one and only trip, at the USCCB website at the urging of a co-worker friend.
