Blessed Charles Pages
28 December, 2006 by PF
Patricia has placed a new page on our parish website with an extract from the Christmas newsletter in which I wrote about Blessed Charles of Mount Argus and the newly approved Miracle. You can find it here.
Katholiek Nederland has an interesting page on Blessed Charles Houben (in Dutch) which includes a podcast interview with Dolf Dormans, the Miracolato (-excuse the Italian, but I don’t think there is one word in English for a person who has been miraculously cured) and Father Harrie Broers, the parish priest of Munstergeleen, who is a Laus Crucis reader and commentator. Meanwhile, for those who don’t speak Dutch, here is Katholiek Nederland’s photograph of Mr Dormans and Father Broers.

Dear Father Paul Francis,
i am very surprised to see my picture at your site, thanks!
At the website of our parish: http://www.sint-pancratius.nl/
you find in the section “TENSLOTTE” “Diverse Foto’s”: Wandeling door het heiligdom van pater karel, a picture-tour through the shrine here, with English explanation.

Next Friday January 5th, the annual big celebration will be at 7.00pm. The Auxiliary Bishop will preside, together with Fr. Giovanni Zubiani and Fr. Mirek Lesiecki, Fr. Leo Bos and several priests of the diocese. After High Mass in the church there will be a candle-procession to the shrine to venerate the relics there.
Last year there were about 1200 faitfull who took part; it was very impressive.
