SaintCast #144, Seven New Saints!

The SaintCast - Catholic Saints on Call

Paul travels to Rome for the canonization of 7 new saints, including the North American Saints Kateri Tekakwitha and Mother Marianne Cope. Hear the excitement in the crowd of tens of thousands of pilgrims who have traveled to witness the special ceremony on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica. Witness parts of the canonization ceremony preceding a Mass in Piazza San Pietro, with pilgrims from many nations. The Filippino's clearly had the largest international contingent for the canonization of their second saint, and the only saint of Guam, Pedro Calungsod. Paul interviews several of the pilgrims before heading out for lunch, at the close of a magical morning in La Citta' Eterna!
