The 12th Sunday After Pentecost Audio Sermon Link
September 4th, 2011 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel in Rochester, NY.
Bishop Madrigal drove from Southern California to Waterloo in order to celebrate the Bishops' anniversary of Episcopal Consecration on August 24th. He also delivered some hand-embroidered vestments and statuary from the faithful in Guadalajara. Lamentably, he was here for barely 24 hours. You are viewing in this photo a newly professed member of the Third Order of St. Francis, Bishop Luis Alberto Madrigal. He has been given the name of the great Mexican martyr of Japan- Frater Philippum. There are now 3 Franciscan Bishops. Deo Gratias!
Why is Bishop Madrigal here?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the occasion was - possibly just a visit? Maybe our friars can comment.
