| Bishop Baraga |
Recently on my friend's blog (I'll not mention his name in case he doesn't want me to) he blogged about Bishop Baraga. Bishop Baraga was the first bishop (I think) of the dioscese that my friends is a priest under. Here's the full post:
Here is the video that was 'attached':
Bishop Sample, still in Rome at the conclusion of his ad limina visit, has this morning posted on his facebook page:
Well...............? The news we have all been waiting for these days. I spent the day taking care of business in Rome that was interrupted by the snow. I was having lunch with Cardinal Raymond Burke when the phone call came to me from our Postulator for Bishop Baraga's Cause. The Cardinals and Archbishops who are members of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints met today and gave a POSITIVE vote on Bishop Baraga's heroic virtue! This means this will now go to the Holy Father who will declare his heroic virtue and give him the title "Venerable"! A HUGE step in the Cause for his beatification. Now if the miracle is approved, we could have a beatification before too long. Thank you for your prayers and sacrifices. It is customary in the Church to celebrate great news with a solemn "Te Deum". Enjoy the attached YouTube recording from Westminster Cathedral as we celebrate this wonderful news. May God be praised!
