While saying my daily prayers today, the name Rhoda Wise popped into my head.
I remembered that back in the '40s when I was a small child, my folks took my brother and I to Canton, Ohio. It's a long time ago but if I recall, there was to be "something" special happening and many, many people made the pilgrimage.
Checked out the name on the search engine and came up with a lot of links. Following are a few:

Also, I can tell you all that I can remember of that visit.

Rhoda Wise was the mystic who cured Rita Rizzo (Mother Angelica), and inspired young Rita to enter the monastery.
Hm... Cindy Sheehan the Miraculous?
wow - thank you for those links.
