A Question of Faith- Father, What Does Beatification Mean?

Father, What Does Beatification Mean? Every so often, the Church announces that a holy man or woman has been declared “Blessed.” When Catholics hear the word beatification, many wonder what it actually means. Is the person already a saint? What changes? Why is it important? Beatification is one of the final steps on the road to canonization. It is the Church’s official declaration that a deceased person lived a life of heroic virtue and is now enjoying the presence of God in Heaven. Through beatification, the Church permits public veneration of ...

Photos: St. Michael the Archangel Celebration of the Assumption

A Tradition Continues in Pawcatuck Hosted by the St. Michael Maria Assunta Society, this tradition was brought here by the Sicilian Tusani who migrated and settled in Pawcatuck. The beautiful statue of the Blessed Mother was carved in Genoa from wood and shipped from Palermo, Sicily, in 1935. Over the years, the celebration has centered around the tradition of a special Sunday Mass and a procession with the statue of the Blessed Mother through the streets of Pawcatuck, accompanied by a band playing traditional music. Along the route, people stop the procession to ...
