Snowshoe Priest

An actual post on something, cool. Bishop Baraga, aka the 'snowshoe priest', was the first bishop in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.


His cause for heroic virtue (the step before beatifying) is being pleaded for tomorrow (is pleaded the right verb?).


From Bishop Sample's (Bishop of Marquette) fan page (if you aren't his fan you should be) on Facebook

Now it's time to ask for you prayers and sacrifices for a very important intention. As I mentioned before, the Cause for Bishop Baraga takes a big step on February 7 (see post from Nov. 25). I am asking for your prayers and asking specifically that Feb. 6 be a day of prayer and fasting for a successful declaration of Bishop Baraga's heroic virtue in Rome. JUST AS IMPORTANT, we need prayers and sacrifices for the miracle under investigation in Rome. We need this for beatification. The documentation has been prepared for the miracle to be studied in Rome. PLEASE pray for a successful outcome. We need Bishop Baraga's beatification for the New Evangelization! 

God bless,
