Shrine of Mentorella Marks 1,500th Anniversary Benedict XVI named Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, retired prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, as his special envoy to the August 29 celebration of the 1,500th anniversary of the Marian shrine at Mentorella. The Shrine of Holy Mary of the Graces, which is situated about thirty miles from Rome, is on what is believed to be the site of the conversion of St. Eustachius (also known as Eustace). Prior to becoming a Christian, Eustachius was a centurion in the Roman army under the Emperor Trajan and had the name Placidus.... Click here for the complete article.

Renew and Rebuild the City with Our Lady! As New Orleans celebrates the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina this weekend, the city has enjoyed a renewal and rebuilding of many buildings, homes and lives. It is reported that 80% of the city's population has been replaced. With a city filled with such a dichotomy of beliefs, there is a strong Catholic presence but also a strong occult presence with voodoo shops and tarot cards lining Jackson Square directly across the street from St. Louis Cathedral. There is also a 'decadence' presence with the Southern Decadence Parade, informally known as 'Gay Mardi Gras', which is about to take place traditionally the following week and continuing into Labor Day. This parade has gone on for fourteen years bringing in gay and lesbian crowds which match or exceed Mardi Gras crowds. The city is also awaiting President Obama's visit to Xavier University, a Catholic university on Sunday; but Bishop Aymond of New Orleans will not be in attendance as he was never consulted by the university about the presidential visit. There still is a spirit of renewal and rebuilding for the city and the entire state of Louisiana after all the turmoil of the past several years with, not only the recent hurricanes, but the oil spill in the gulf as well. Part of that renewal and rebuilding was done this Saturday [8/28] which made history, and that was the "enthronement of a relic, image of Our Lady of Guadalupe!" It is an exact image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that was touched to the true image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City of which there are only a couple dozen like it in the world....
