Thanks for posting the article. Out here in Phoenix,where most of our churches are pretty new and most of our pretty new churches are pretty ugly,we have had a miracle of sorts.
One of our more modern pastors was building a new church and it was quite expensive. We were all wondering what new and innovative structural blight was going to be inflicted on the desert people. Well,we learned that he had gone back east and had studied the architecture of some of the old churches. To our amazement he came back with gorgeous old stained glass windows and relics and miracle of miracles the altar from Saint Catharine Drexel's private chapel. It is so beautiful and so is the church. It is just incredible that we now have one of the most beautiful churches built over the past 40 years in this country.
Many of us believe that Mother knew where her altar was going and guided him to build a church that would befit her private altar.Something struck him and whatever it was we are all grateful. He has also become much more orthodox and Catholic than he once was. Three cheers and a lot of thanks to her. We are happy!!

What a "happy ending" story! I have a daughter in Chamberland. I will have to contact you when I come down to visit her.

Yes, that sounds like Mother Katharine had her hand on that priest. Praise God! And thanks to Saint Katharine Drexel. Your story makes me very happy. We need to hear Good News.
