    • Blessed Solanus Casey, when acknowledged by Rome to be a saint, will be the first man born in the USA to be canonizied.  This humble capuchin was responsible for many miracles during his lifetime and was revered as a saint both before and after his death in 1957.  In 1960 relics were distributed in search of a miracle for his cause.  
    This is a wonderful saint for the USA.

    • I read the life of Fr. Solanus, and Bl. Bro. Andre drove to Detroit to meet him.  They gave a blessing to each other.  One saint giving a blessing to another saint. Fr. Solanus was always a pater simplex; he never had permission to hear confessions. The funny part is, he would often have 50-100 people a day come to him for advice.

    One day at the seminary I had the opportunity to go to his family home, but I chose to stay at the seminary and take a nap.

    • Amazing...both men alive at the same time, both judged unworthy, both relegated to be porters, yet both were miracle workers, one in the US and one in Canada and both were/will be the first men in their respective countries to be officially canonized!

    • When my son was born, I was out of the Church and didn't give him a Saint's name.
    I've been praying for Fr Solanus to become a saint , if only to cover my son's( Casey) lack of Christian name.

    He's 47 now so I hope its soon!

    • Father Solanus Casey was in Huntington, IN Felix Monastery.  Huntington is my place of birth.  Fr. Solanus had a miracle with our dentist, Howe.  Fr. Solanus had a tooth removed and bled heavily. Fr. Solanus asked Dr. Howe for a room for himself.  So, he went into a closet and came back out.  Where the tooth was, hole, was completely healed over!
    I never got to meet him.  Just heard of him. I was born in 1952. Fr. Solanus was to answer the door to the monastery.  People asked for masses to be said for their needs.  Fr. asked for 25 cents or so and had them write in a note book, Seraphic Masses.

    We’re near Ft Wayne and our girls were able to attend an SSPX girls camp at the Monastery in Huntington 2 years ago, they were blessed to pray at his cell🙏

    • I am sorry to say, that Felix monastery is new order.  It went wrong in the 70's. Those of St. Mary's and St. Perter and Pauls parishes are new order.  Very sad.  I have 4 generations who went to St. Peter and St. Paul's.  It broke my heart to have the marble communion rails (2) demolished. Thank god the original altar can not be removed.  My Great-great Uncle said his first Mass there and again for his nephews requiem Mass in 1940. Fr. Rudolph Stoltz.

    Yes, when the owners discovered Latin Mass was being celebrated at the camp they wouldn’t let us return the next year, it was a perfect setting😢

    • A small booklet about Fr Casey was floating around my chapel. The author was especially impressed with Fr Casey's "charitable" spirit, and related the "edifying" example of him telling an atheist he didn't need to believe in God to be saved. 

    I quietly disposed of the booklet. I know nothing about Fr Casey except for what was in that booklet, and I don't know if the booklet told the truth, but if it did he seemed quite the liberal, and if it didn't it was highly libelous.

    • Yes, I have a book about him as well and found it modernized and not well done.  Does that surprise us?

    Ah, but will (Conciliar) "canonization" by accepted by Traditional Catholics?
