The CAT is on the Prowl: Wisconsin Was Great!
Posted by Catholicism.org in Catholic America TourThe first two talks of the Catholic America Tour are now over. Speaking in De Pere and Nededah, Wisconsin, Brother André Marie launched the CAT before two very interested audiences. Here are some of his impressions:
“I met some old friends and lots of new ones. Third Order members, SAI Study Circle die-hards, and many other devout and zealous Catholic souls were in the audiences. It was a great feeling to speak about the evangelization of our America surrounded by memorials of the missions that brought the Faith here. Monuments to Father Allouez, Father Marquette, and other missionaries dot the countryside where I visited. I walked along the Fox River and crossed the Wisconsin River, both major thoroughfares for the missionaries like the Jesuits I just mentioned, as well as the Dominicans that came later — Father Mazzuchelli and Father Van Den Broek, “the Apostle of Wisconsin.” It was thrilling to see the same vistas and touch the same ground as these apostles of Jesus Christ, and to do so with the same purpose they had. The faithful who came to hear the talks were most interested in doing their part to Catholicize our land, and I was happy to play the part of a catalyst in motivating them to do more. I am very grateful to Our Lord, and to the trip’s sponsors, for this blessed opportunity.”
