St. John Cantius

Confessor (III Class)
The holy priest St. John Cantius, a native of Kenty (Poland), was a professor at the University of Cracow. Famous for his heroic charity and zeal, he died in 1473.

First off, another cute picture of Maria. Here she is helping her mother cook lemon bars for a bake sale which is helping us and other ITI folk to make a pilgrimage to Lourdes. A moment ago, I wrote out a somewhat lengthly description of our itinerary, and then the internet shut down and I lost it all. The brief version is this: we leave Wednesday evening; we make stops in Toulon, Carcasonne, and Toulouse, and then are in Lourdes from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. On the way back we stop only in Paray-le-Monial to see the shrine where our Lord revealed his Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque; then it's home again to Gaming sometime Tuesday evening.

Today also marks the completion of our little baby's sixth month of life inside his mother's womb. It seems that he is getting bigger. Maria is hoping for a little sister, but we'll have to wait and see.
