S. J C The Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 25, 2016 THE SOLANUS CASEY CENTER This weekend, in lieu of our monthly collection for St. Vincent de Paul, we take up a collection to support the work of the Solanus Casey Center, the Cathedral’s own referral center, located at 1008 James Street. What we do We offer information about resources in the Seattle area that address the needs of persons experiencing poverty or homelessness. At the same time we offer a welcoming presence to all who enter. Who we assist The homeless and those in need in and around downtown Seattle. Who we are The Center was inspired by the example of Venerable Solanus Casey. Established in 2005, it is a joint ministry of St. James Cathedral and Catholic Community Services. It is staffed by volunteers and a paid director, and is open Monday—Thursday from 1-4pm. WHO WAS SOLANUS CASEY? Bernard Francis Casey was born into a large Wisconsin family on December 18, 1870. In his younger days he was a logger, a hospital orderly, a streetcar operator, and even a prison guard. But the work that he would do for the rest of his life began after he joined the Capuchin order of Catholic priests in Detroit when he was twenty-one. At the time, he was given the name of Solanus, the name of a Spanish missionary who worked with the poor. Solanus was ordained in 1904. He had never been a strong student, especially in theology, so his superiors asked him not to preach or hear confessions. Instead, he was given the simplest of duties including greeting people at the church door, and preparing the altar for services. Even so, as he worked in various New York City parishes over the next fourteen years, his holiness, wisdom and desire to serve had a powerful impact. After his stay in New York, Father Solanus spent the next twenty years at a monastery in Detroit. In time, he began to hold services for the sick and before long nearly 200 people a day came to receive his blessing. Some later reported that they believed that he helped with their cures, and other blessings that came into their lives. His impact was felt during and after his life. For example, he inspired the creation of a Depression-era soup kitchen in Detroit where the Capuchins are feeding the hungry to this day. At his death in 1957 over 20,000 people filed by his coffin to pay their respects to this man who touched so many lives.

    Capuchin Franciscans Honor Blessed Solanus Casey in Baltimore

    Capuchin Franciscans honor Blessed Solanus Casey in Baltimore Eight days after Father Solanus Casey was beatified in Detroit, Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori celebrated a Mass honoring the Capuchin Franciscan Friar at St. Ambrose in Park Heights Nov. 26. Capuchin Franciscan Father Paul Zaborowski is pastor of St. Ambrose, which is home to a Capuchin friary. He said that he and his brothers put themselves “in the midst of the most needy,” aligning with their founder, St. Francis. The Capuchins who serve in Maryland are of the Province of St. Augustine, which serves Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, the District of Columbia and Maryland, with missions in Puerto Rico, Papua New Guinea and Cuba. The history of the province dates back to three Capuchin Friars who came to Pittsburgh in 1873, fleeing persecution in Germany. Within three years, they began to minister in Cumberland, where they maintain a strong presence serving Our Lady of the Mountains Parish. While serving those in need is a top priority to the Capuchin Franciscans, their primary charism is fraternity and coming together as a community. The four friars residing at St. Ambrose minister throughout Baltimore in many different ways – including health care, parish ministry and archdiocesan work – but, according to Father Zaborowski, they all come back together, similar to a family, at the end of the day. “(Our goal is) to show that people who are not connected in any (other) way can be connected through faith,” Father Zaborowski said. On the feast of Christ the King, the Mass at St. Ambrose attracted other Capuchin Friars, several friars in formation at the Capuchin College in Washington, D.C., and religious women, all to honor Father Casey.

The celebration of this day provides us with an opportunity to broaden the basis for an enlightened opinion and responsible conduct by individuals, enterprises and communities in preserving and enhancing the environment. Since it began in 1974, it has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in more than 100 countries. World Environment Day 2019 will be hosted by China, with a theme of "Air Pollution." We can't stop breathing, but we can do something about the quality of air that we breathe. Approximately 7 million people worldwide die prematurely each year from air pollution, with about 4 million of these deaths occurring in Asia-Pacific. World Environment Day 2019 will urge governments, industry, communities, and individuals to come together to explore renewable energy and green technologies, and improve air quality in cities and regions across the world.

    Pope Francis Announces Father Solanus Casey of Detroit to Be Beatified by the Roman Catholic Church

    POPE FRANCIS ANNOUNCES FATHER SOLANUS CASEY OF DETROIT TO BE BEATIFIED BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH Momentous announcement celebrates second American-born male to be beatified; Capuchin Father Solanus Casey served the poor and sick at St. Bonaventure Monastery in Detroit DETROIT, MI (4 May 2017) – Pope Francis announced today that Father Solanus Casey, a member of the Capuchin Franciscan Order of St. Joseph in Detroit and one of the co-founders of the city’s Capuchin Soup Kitchen, has passed the rigorous test assigned to the process of Sainthood, by being elevated from Venerable to Blessed by the Roman Catholic Church. At 10:30 this morning in Rome, the Holy Father Pope Francis received in audience His Eminence Cardinal Angelo Amato, S.D.B., prefect for the Congregation of the Causes of Saints. During this audience, the Holy Father authorized the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to promulgate the following decree regarding a miracle, attributed to the intercession of the Venerable Servant of God Solanus Casey, born November 25, 1870 and died July 31, 1957. A photograph of Father Solanus Casey is available here. Because of Fr. Solanus Casey’s holiness, Pope John Paul II declared him Venerable in 1995. Details on the Fr. Solanus Casey Beatification Ceremony will be released in the coming months. "The beatification of Father Solanus Casey is an incomparable grace for the Church in the Archdiocese of Detroit and for the whole community of Southeast Michigan,” stated Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron, Archdiocese of Detroit. “He is an inspiration to all us Catholics – and to all – of the power of grace to transform one’s life.” Throughout his ministry, beginning in New York for 20 years, serving at three different parishes, Fr.

    Blessed Solanus Casey on Saturday, 18 November 2017, Our Brother Solanus Casey Was Beatified During a Liturgical Celebration at Ford Field in Detroit

    29 November 2017 Special Issue Issue Number 1117 Blessed Solanus Casey On Saturday, 18 November 2017, our brother Solanus Casey was beatified during a liturgical celebration at Ford Field in Detroit. Over 60,000 individuals were present for the Mass, including over 500 concelebrants. The friars of the St. Joseph Province did not concelebrate, however, continuing our tradition of expressing the equality of all of our brothers regardless of canonical status. On behalf of the St. Joseph Province, we want to thank the brothers for their presence and support, both from our province and all the provinces all over the world. Gratitude is especially due to those who worked tirelessly on the preparation of the liturgy: the music and the ambiance. Solanus Casey was known for his steadfast devotion to the needy, and has an extraordinary following, decades after his death in 1957. Pope Francis acknowledged Solanus’ rank of “blessed” after Paula Medina Zarate of Panamá was cured while praying at his tomb in 2012. Zarate had a formal role at the liturgy, placing a cross in front of a portrait of Solanus near the alter. Cardinal Angelo Amato read a decree by the pope, who described the friar as a “humble and faithful disciple of Christ, tireless in serving the poor.” Solanus can be canonized in the years ahead if a second miracle is attributed to him. He's only the second U.S. born man to be beatified by the church, joining Stanley Rother, a priest killed in Guatemala's civil war, who was beatified in Oklahoma in September.
