God is glorified by the humble, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron told a small congregation July 30 during the feast day of Blessed Solanus Casey at St. Bonaventure Monastery, the place where Detroit’s beloved friar lived and work as a doorkeeper, praising God through his willing humility. Blessed Solanus died on July 31, 1957. His beautification cause commenced in 1976, and in 2017, was realized when he was declared “blessed” in front of 60,000 people at Ford Field. His feast is now celebrated the day before the anniversary of his death. Leading up to the feast day, the Capuchin Franciscan Province of St. Joseph hosts an annual novena and tours of the Solanus Casey Center, where Blessed Solanus is entombed.
