Vol. 9 | No. 24 | November 29, 2024

On the cover: During his life, Wisconsin-born Franciscan Father Solanus Casey became known from Harlem to Detroit for his wisdom and healing touch. But nearly 70 years after his death, firsthand memories of his holiness risk being forgotten forever. On Page 10, renowned Catholic writer-photographer Jeffrey Bruno traveled to the Midwest to document Angelus managing editor Richard Beemer’s mission to preserve the recently beatified friar’s legacy for future generations. And on Page 16, LA Auxiliary Bishop Matthew Elshoff explains how Solanus has helped his own Capuchin roots grow.
