During the last year of his ministry he tended to the sick and dying during a Yellow Fever epidemic that claimed over 3100 victims in New Orleans in 1867, until he too succumbed to it.
Don't forget to ask his intercession in the days ahead.
Very good idea. I'm currently sitting next to a first class relic of his. :angel: He was at my parish back in the 1860s, and we have a side altar dedicated to him.
"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church -- which is, of course, quite a different thing." -Ven. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
"Let me repeat this sentence. It is impossible in human language to exaggerate the importance of being in a chapel or church before the Blessed Sacrament as often and for as long as our duties and state of life allow. That sentence is the talisman of the highest sanctity." -Fr. John Hardon, S.J.
