  We must be faithful to the present moment or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives. (Venerable Solanus Casey)

A message from my friend Jerry Locey:

Received my credential today for the Fr. Solanus Casey Beatification which will take place on November 18, 2017.

It is an Indoor event at the fairly new football stadium where the Detroit Lions play (Ford Field in Downtown Detroit which opened in 2002 and was renovated in 2017).

The good news I’m writing about:

The letter (enclosed with the credentials) from the Capuchin Friars of the Province of St. Joseph states:

“Please be advised:  this will be a sell-out event, with an anticipated attendance of more than 66,000 faithful from Metro Detroit, across the country and around the world.”

That attendance news is an answered prayer as I want to support the faith and values Father Solanus Casey lived and embraced.  Since he died 60 years ago (1957), most everyone who knew him personally will be unable to physically attend.  But the expected attendance news is a wonderful sign that his heroic faith and values have continued to live-on among God’s people!

Thanks for sharing in my joy!
