Learn and spread the knowledge and the spirituality of Bl. Solanus, who lived among us. Blessed Solanus listened and brought God’s Peace and wisdom to those who sought his intercession. He talked about fasting and almsgiving to the Seraphic Mass Association for the Capuchin Missions as part of their prayer request. He is a legacy of our Catholic Faith. To keep the spirit of Father Solanus alive, to grow in his holy spirituality, to become what you learn, live what you learn, and spread what you learn is the challenge for all parents, grandparents, youth, parishes, and ourselves. Our Catholic Faith needs heroes. Bl. Solanus is a super hero!
