Attention CheeseHeads.......

About 600 people gathered Saturday for a dedication ceremony at the Father Solanus Casey Center, built in memory of the patient and quiet man who began the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in 1929. That charity now serves 2,500 meals a day.

Casey is being considered for sainthood, which would make him the first American-born man elevated to that status in the Catholic Church. He is entombed in a chapel at St. Bonaventure Church, which underwent a $13 million renovation for the center connected to it. Private donations financed the project.

That would make the first American-born male saint a Wisconsin native. (Is this where I should insert a GO BADGERS!!!?) I ask his intercession on a daily basis for my sister’s conversion. (I figured since she was living in Hudson and he grew up around Hudson, he would be a logical intercessor.........the fact that she is considering joining the Church is pretty miraculous to me!)
