        The College is a Catholic Institution of  higher education and aims to bring the the love and message of Jesus Christ to the world. It was opened in 1949 and has served the area for 73 years. The Chapel and the new academic building of the college were expected to be blessed in 2020 but due to COVID 19 and other technical work it was delayed.

Seelos in Füssen would like to thank Michaela Remijio for her help in obtaining photos of the beautiful Blessed Seelos Chapel in Donnelly College.

Father Rich Boever, Director of the National Seelos Shrine in New Orleans recently shocked many when he publicly announced he had cancer of the lung. During the recent Seelos Healing Mass on 24th April 2022, Father Rich told the congregation he was joining them in prayer for healing for himself as he was told last December that he had spots of cancer on his lung. We ask all who visit this website to offer a prayer to Blessed Seelos for the healing of Father Rich. Seelos in Füssen also look forward to seing him if he is well enough when he visits Füssen on 9th September and hopefully celebrates Mass in St Mang Basilica sometime in the afternoon. He and the pilgrimage group will also attend the 1800hrs 1st Maas of Sunday in St Mang Basilica on Saturday 10th September 2022. Seelos in Füssen will be giving the "In the Footsteps of Blessed Francis Seelos Alpine Europe Pilgrimage" a tour of all the relevant sites in Füssen connected with Blessed Seelos.

The Last Parish that Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos served in was St Mary`s Assumption Church in New Orleans.Over the years patchwork renovation has been made to the magnificent church. Now it is time to do a major renovation which will cost over $4,000,000! Will you help them to reach this target so they can save the church for future generations? To find out mor you can visit the Parish web page giving more details of the work involved.

Father Gil  Enderle, Vice-Postulator for the Seelos Canonisation Cause of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos was asked to update the congregation who attended the Seelos Healing Mass on how the cause was progressing. Father Enderle told those present that he had sent the case of Carson Joseph Coyle of Metairie, Louisiana to Rome. Carson was born with the help of vacumn extraction which caused brain damage and massive swelling around his skull. He was given a Seelos blessing by Judge Dennis Waldron with the  Crucifix used by Blessed Seelos. Rome say that it has a good chance of passing and allowing Seelos to be canonized. However Father Enderle has to send many more details to allow the cause to proceed in Rome. The video below shows the story of Carson. Carson is now 3 years old

Meet 43 year old African-American artist Wayman Scott from Baltimore,Maryland, U.S.A. He has agreed to help the Shrine of St Peter & St Paul in Cumberland to finally be able to place a statue in their Seelos Prayer Garden Grotto!(Photo below)

For nearly a year the grotto has been awaiting a statue, David & Paula Schoenadel told us "The mockup Blessed Seelos sculpture is underway. Wayman Scott out of Baltimore,Md has been very gracious in every way and has been working on the mockup sculpture for the Blessed Seelos grotto at the Blessed Seelos prayer garden. The mockup is completed first to see what edits and so forth are needed. He may change the book to a hand position to the chest. We have left this to his discretion as he would know what would hold up best over time. Friends of ours saw an article of Wayman in the Catholic review about a year ago. They passed the information on to us and we made contact through a Parish Priest and the author of the article in the Catholic review. " 

This original sculpture should be ready in July. Seelos in Füssen look forward to seeing the finished statue in the Seelos Prayer Garden Grotto.
