I saw both of these when I visited in 2005.<br /><br />Have you read the 'official' biography of Blessed Marianne, 'Song of Pilgrimage and Exile'? It was co-authored by Sister Mary Laurence Hanley [one of the Vice-Postulators, I believe] and a history professor from Hawaii whose name escapes me at present. If I had the money to purchase the newest edition of it, I would gladly send it on to you.<br /><br />And I forgot to mention yesterday-there is a shrine to Blessed Marianne in the front yard of her home parish in Utica! It was built in 2005 by a parishioner who is a Perpetual Adorer [as I am] and a builder by profession. He donated all the materials, and did all the building without pay!<br /><br />Barb in 'Upstate NY'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10038924.post-78274583564528250812011-05-03T13:06:28.607-05:002011-05-03T13:06:28.607-05:00I'd be very happy to pay a visit there sometim...I'd be very happy to pay a visit there sometime, Barb.

In fact, the parish she attended has a Perpetual Adoration Chapel! When her remains came back from Hawaii in 2005, I went to venerate them at the same church following the Mass. I placed my hands on the coffin, and simply murmured two words: 'Welcome home!' <br /><br />I've also been to the Museum that the Franciscan Sisters have at their Mother House in Syracuse. That was also in 2005. Since then her relics are housed in a beautiful wooden reliquary-I think it might be in the main chapel. <br /><br />Maybe some day you'll be able to come to either Utica or Syracuse and see our relics of Blessed Marianne! May she join St. Damian soon in the ranks of the Saints!<br /><br />[her baptismal name is the same as mine-seems it's very popular among Germans. I'm German on my mother's side. Mom came to the US in 1923, when she was 7 seven years old]<br /><br />Barb in 'Upstate NY'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
