I never thought I’d see this here on OnePeterFive! I am a student at NC
State and will be at both events tomorrow. It is such a blessing to have
Cardinal Burke coming to speak here, especially considering the times
we live in.
I’m also a member of the TIC club at NCSU. We’ve been
trying to spread the news about these events for a while now. Thank you
for helping to get the word out Mr. Skojec!
St Catherine of Siena Church, the new one is beautiful. It is built along traditional lines to include a high altar from a parish that closed in Rust Belt. One of the most striking things is the Stations of the Cross. If memory serves me, the first station begins on the Gospel side of the Church and progresses to the rear and then to the Epistle side. But what is unique is that as the stations progress from One to Fourteen, the images become progressively darker until Station Fourteen, Jesus is laid in the tomb, the image is nearly black. What an ingenious visual to correspond to the eclipse that occurred during the Passion.
Hosted in a Church named for one of the most profoundly blessed Doctors, who, if memory serves, rightly and effectively cajoled a pope on a few occasions.
I pray that this conference will be of spiritual benefit to all. I attended a conference in Limerick Ireland on November 20th and 21st with Cardinal Burke as the main speaker and it was excellant. God Bless.
