June 2023 - Chairman’s Corner Friends – Recall that in May 2022, the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints raised some questions about Father Vincent’s life and sacrifice. These questions put our Cause on “hold” and Archbishop Broglio has been working to establish a new Historical Commission to assemble the necessary information to resolve their concerns. Great news - our new commission has been formed and they are pushing forward: Gregory Tomlin, Colonel, USA Michael Carter, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History, University of Dayton Josh Mercer, Co-founder and political director of Catholic Vote.org I know that you were all praying that Archbishop Broglio would be guided to establish the best team and in my humble opinion, our prayers have been answered - this team is strong and motivated. I am confident that we are on the correct path. Please keep them in your daily prayers.
Christendom College Chapel Dedication On 15 April, the new Chapel at Christendom was dedicated by Bishop Burbidge. It is an amazing chapel – beautiful and filled with strong Catholic art – but what is most amazing and unexpected is the full-sized stained-glass window dedicated to our Servant of God, Father Vincent. I am sure you recognize many of the window’s attributes from the Vietnam photos on our website, but the artists did a beautiful job telling his story with stained glass – it is inspirational and reflects the growing community of supporters for our Cause. I love the fact that many of these young Catholic students will attend Mass with Father looking over them.
God bless, Steve Stanley Hail and Farewell Farewell: For several years now, Monsignor Jeffrey Laible has shepherded our efforts as Archbishop Broglio’s representative on our Guild Board of Directors. His keen insights and understanding of the working of our Archdiocese has been critical to our decision processes and we thank him for all that he has done. His next assignment will be as the Catholic Priest for Maxwell Air Force Base. We wish him Fair Winds and Following Seas. Hail: We welcome Monsignor Anthony Frontiero who is coming in from Pastor of St. Matthew Parish in Windham, NH. You can read his biography here msgr-frontiero-bio.pdf (milarch.org) but it is obvious that Archbishop Broglio has found another “good one.” www.capodannoguild.org Like us on Facebook - www.facebook.com/capodannoguild Follow us on Instagram! - Father Vincent Capodanno Guild (@fathercapodannoguild)
