Bishop Thomas Daly gathered with the other bishops of Region XII of the U.S. (which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska) to participate in the Ad Limina Apostolorum visit to Rome. The Ad Limina visit was established as a periodic visit of bishops with the Holy Father in Rome to foster unity between the dioceses throughout the world and the papal curia in Rome. Visits with various departments, liturgies at major basilicas, and a private group audience with the Holy Father filled Bishop Daly's calendar.
