59 years ago today Fr. Vincent R. Capodanno gave his life on the battlefield in Vietnam doing what he loved--serving his men, and bringing the love and hope of Christ to them in time and place that felt like Hell.

Last night Archbishop Timothy Broglio, of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, celebrated a Memorial Mass for Fr. Capodanno at the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. During the Mass, one of Fr. Capodanno's "men," the gentleman's son, and a member of the Father Vincent Capodanno Guild brought up the Offertory Gifts.

Please continue to pray for the Cause for Canonization of Fr. Vincent! Santo Subito!

Fr. Vincent Capodanno, PRAY FOR US!

The Dicastery for the Cause of Canonization was supposed to meet to review Fr. Cappdanno's Cause, in May. We have not heard anything yet and are believing no news is good news. Please consider storming Heaven with the Novena for a YES for Fr. Capodanno's Cause to move forward, and that he be declared Venerable Vincent Capodanno! Please feel free to share this!

If you are ever in Dallas, stop by the National Medal of Honor Museum. They have pictures of Fr. Vincent Capodanno on one of the walls, and they have the typewriter he used while in Vietnam. Seeing them, and displays of MANY Medal of Honor Recipients
is a very moving experience.
