Monday, November 17, 2014 Feast of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Last Thursday, November 13, was the feast day of “one of our own ,” St. Frances Xavier Cabrini. As I try to do each year, I visited her shrine up in Washington Heights, venerated her tomb, and greeted her sisters, the wonderful Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
Thanks for your patience, understanding, and support this week after the tough announcements of parish mergers a week ago. Thanks, too, for the good questions, and even the criticisms, at least those thoughtfully and civilly expressed.
