Last week I shared with you the miracle story of Jake Finkbonner and the powerful intercession of the North American Saint, Kateri Tekakwitha. This week, I want to share the witness of some other Saints of North America, men and women who were born in the USA and who now live in heaven. Any one of their life stories are worth knowing and their friendship...well, that would be worth knowing too. In these summer weeks, pursue a new adventure: Get to know and befriend an American Saint! Peace, Fr. Rogers ________________________________________________________________________________________________ St. Elizabeth Ann Seton born in New York City to Episcopalian parents; her husband was also Episcopalian. It was after her husband’s death in Italy from tuberculosis that his business partners, who took her and her daughter in, introduced her to Catholicism. St. Katharine born in Philadelphia to a wealthy family. She is the only canonized saint to be born an American citizen! Blessed Solanus Casey, born in Wisconsin. He left home at 17 to work odd jobs around Wisconsin and Minnesota, including being a lumberjack. He was the first United States born man to be declared venerable. He will be beatified in November of this year. Blessed Stanly Rother born in Oklahoma, was a Catholic priest from the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. He served and was martyred in a church mission in Guatemala. The first U.S. born Martyr, will be beatified soon. Venerable Fulton J. Sheen was born in Illinois and was a diocesan priest and later archbishop. He wrote 73 books, had a very popular radio show during World War II, and later a television program. His cause of canonization is moving forward. Servant of God Vincent Capodanno born in Staten Island, New York. After being ordained a priest, he joined the Navy Chaplain Corps and was sent to Vietnam in 1966. There, during Operation Swift, Fr. Vincent went among the wounded and dying administering Last Rites. Fr. Vincent was awarded a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and the Medal of Honor. Servant of God Fr. Emil Kapaun was born on a farm in Kansas in 1916 and was ordained a priest in 1940. He became an Army chaplain in 1944 and was sent to the Burma theater the next year. He served again in the Korean War where he was captured and remained a POW until his death. Among other honors, Fr. Emil was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously. Servant of God Dorothy Day was born in Brooklyn and became well known after her conversion for her social activism. A convert to the faith, she began the Catholic Worker Movement. Servant of God Mother Mary Alphonsa (Rose Hawthorne) was born in Massachusetts. In 1851, she married author George Parsons Lathrop. Rose trained as a nurse and then became a Dominican tertiary and from then on was known as Mother Mary Alphonsa. She founded an order now known as the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne and died peacefully in her sleep. Servant of God Augustus Tolton was born in Missouri in 1854 to parents who were slaves. His mother had been raised Catholic, and had Augustus baptized. While working in a factory, Augustus met a priest who encouraged his vocation and eventually backed his studies in Rome. Augustus was ordained a priest and is the first black Roman Catholic priest in the United States. Fr. Rogers’ homilies are available online: www.cbr.podbean.com 236 ST.
