Friends of Francis Retreat, October 26-28, 2018 – presented by Fr. Dan Crosby, OFM Cap. AMERICA’S NEWEST “BLESSED”: FR. SOLANUS CASEY, AND HIS MESSAGE FOR US ALL Almost a year ago, on Nov. 18, 2017, before a crowd of 66,000 people at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, America celebrated a rare event: Pope Francis declared BLESSED a man born near here, on the banks of the Mississippi: Solanus Casey, a Capuchin Franciscan priest. Our Friends of Francis Retreat will focus on the simple but profound message of his genuine spirituality. Our retreat director, Fr. Dan Crosby, OFM Cap., lived with father Solanus and is happy to share with us what he has learned from this holy American friar-priest.
