BLESSED SEELOS ANSWERING PRAYER(17 May 2023)

 

My youngest daughter is in her last year at school and all her class must do a project which will be marked. This morning she was moaning about how all those who got their projects yesterday had brilliant subjects and today there would only be bad ones left for her. I told her I would pray she gets a good subject and at the same time had a premonition that maybe she gets Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos as a subject. What was the first ticket she pulled out ?See Below!(Seelos an Allgäu Saint?-Biography.Was he eligible for beatification or was it exagerrated? Answer the topic question?) Our house is full of Seelos relics,photos,books and DVD`s about this great Saint born here in Füssen where we live!I also run this website about him!
God is good! Alleluia. Thank you for your intercession Blessed Seelos.

So many worldwide have shown an interest in this news item that we hope to be able to show the finished project when it has been officially marked by the School concerned.

"Seelos-ein Allgäuer Heiliger" A presentation on Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos in German by Claudia Rosenthal-English coming soon to this website! We are pleased to report that Claudia got a 1 for her presentation on Blessed Seelos.

SEELOS STATUE TO ARRIVE IN CUMBERLAND THIS WEEK AS PREPARATIONS ARE MADE TO CELEBRATE 175TH ANNIVERSARY(19 Feb 2023)

The Shrine of St Peter & St Paul in Cumberland is looking forward to at last having the statue of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos in the grotto within the Seelos Prayer Garden.

David and Paula Schoenadel told the members of the Save the Shrine of St Peter & Paul Facebook page    "Blessed Seelos statue update-We have scheduled a day next week for picking up the statue of Blessed Seelos from Wayman Scott of Baltimore,Md. Wayman is the artist who has sculpted the statue made specially for the grotto located at the Blessed Seelos Prayer Garden. It is one of its kind. When weather becomes more steadily favorable in the Spring, Blessed Seelos will be placed in his very own long awaited grotto. Plans are in the making for a dedication Blessing to take place after Blessed Seelos is placed in the grotto." 

The Shrine where Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos and Saint John Neumann served is celebrating its 175th Anniversary this year. Joe George the President of the board of directors of the Friends of the Shrine told us "Every 5 years the Archdiocese requires a formal inspection of Church facilities to do a condition assessment by an independent firm. The Friends of the Shrine paid $3,000 for an inspection by Bureau Veritas for the Archdiocese. All in all, for a 175 year old building, the 41 page report was favorable. There are 3 issues that we will be addressing:

1) window framings need repaired & painted. We have obtained an estimate from Hoyman Painting & they will do the work this Spring.
2) front wall next to the sidewalk by the front steps needs repaired, a stone replaced, & steps caulked. An estimate from Valley Masonry has been obtained & this work will also be contracted.
3) Exit signs in Church need upgrades. While not part of the inspection, we are also looking to improve the lighting bars for the main Altar. Estimates are being obtained.
We have budgeted $30,000 for the needed work to be done in 2023, as part of our 175th Anniversary, thanks to our donors generosity.
We are delivering on our goal to preserve & maintain the Shrine for future generations.

Joe also wrote the following on the groups Facebook page "As we begin to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the Shrine of SS Peter & Paul and work to raise an endowment fund to be able to preserve & maintain the Shrine for years to come, we sent a mailing to approximately 400 of faithful Shrine supporters in the past. Attached is a copy of the letter & tri fold brochure. Please click on the photo attachments to read more. Many have responded already. We don’t have all the addresses of the 1000 followers to the Save the Shrine Facebook page but each of you can help make a difference for the Shrines’ future. Any donation amount is appreciated. Some have donated $175 in honor of the Anniversary year. Please keep the Shrine & our Board in your prayers. Should you wish to make a donation you can mail it to:

ST MARY`S PARISH,ANNAPOLIS,WHERE BLESSED SEELOS SERVED CELEBRATES 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OPENING OF THE ORIGIONAL CHURCH(18 Feb 2023)

 

Saint Mary’s Church and Novitiate, 1864. During his rectorship of St. Mary’s (1862-63), Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos established a fleet of sailboats to be used for recreation by the Redemptorist priests, brothers, and novices. Courtesy: Redemptorist Archives of the Baltimore Province, Brooklyn, New York.

St. Mary`s Parish, Annapolis, Maryland can trace its very existence back to George Carroll, the only Catholic  signer of the United States of America Declaration of Independence. He asked his granddaughter,  Mary Anne Caton Patterson to be in charge of the building of the first Catholic Church in Annapolis and gave the ground which it was built on. It was opened in 1823 and was able to house 150 people. It was a small one room building and was served monthly by the Jesuits from Prince Georges County until 1853 when the Redemptorist took over the Parish.

      Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos served in the Parish from April 16th to May 19th 1857 as Superior and Novice Master and also from June 14th 1862 to November 17th 1863 as Rector. In 1862, he was made Rector to St. Mary's Church and Novitiate, Annapolis, Maryland. It was during his posting here that he went to met President Abraham Lincoln to ask if the Redemptorist seminarians could be excused from military conscription during the Civil War.

On 9th February 2023 the Parish celebrated its 200th Anniversary of the opening of the original church.

Seelos in Füssen`s reporter in Spanish Fort made the news this month. Judy Hill Sullivan had told us back in November about her healing. She said " Here is another more personal gift, which I will report to the National Shrine later today.  My surgery last month to repair rotator cuff was successful. The rate of recovery to all the surrounding tissue is beyond natural.  You and I both know why this is excelerated, because prayers are carried by Father Seelos to grant a good outcome.  The initial injury was forty years ago on an icy patch at a Colorado Rocky Mountain ski resort.  Year 2021 -- it became time to address the function of this limb.  All result is beyond expectations... so much like our other good graces from our loving Jesus Christ!!

BLESSED FRANCIS XAVIER SEELOS CHURCH, SPANISH FORT UPDATE (5th November 2022)

A belated Happy Feast Day, I remembered your family and your parish-shrine of our patron, Blessed Francis Xavier in the week of October 5th.  We celebrated with a special Sunday Mass (liturgical prayers honoring Blessed Seelos) and a church-family picnic.
Thank you again for the prayers and support which are very evident in the blessings and growth in our new little parish.
 
Our parish is taking more baby-steps into the world of digital outreach.  So many electronic glitches to solve, yet it seems we are in good company since the New Orleans shrine also has such a problem getting the sound to accurately embed into the web-feed.  Praise be to God that our Mass prayers, Holy Scripture readings, and homily are clear.  Clearly broadcast music will come with learning by these dedicated volunteers who are reading, studying, applying their growing knowledge base in the medium of internet web-feed.
Thank you so much  for the resources I find on your site.  As I assimilate the information, it helps in the outreach.  Just last night was a fireside meal with friends who worship as Methodists, and who are curious about this new building on the highway -- which is our Blessed Seelos parish.  It was natural to explain what we as a faith-family hope to bring to the work of Jesus Christ in the area taking inspiration from this gentle strength in the life of Blessed Seelos.  It was natural and easy to summarize because of the many readings and devotionals in many websites that link from you, thank you again!!!  Glory be to God.
