The "Holy Doorman" of St. Bonaventure's

by Diane Morey Hanson

When the doorbell of St. Bonaventure Monastery in Detroit rang, it sounded sharp and clear, like the clanging of a school bell. . . . And if it rang in the wee hours of the morning, it nearly always startled the thirty or so residents out of their sleep.

For more than twenty years, one man hurried to open the heavy, carved oak doors: Fr. Solanus Casey, "the porter of St. Bonaventure"-the humble, compassionate, healing priest who may one day be the first American-born man to be canonized. ...

Fr. Solanus Casey pray for us.
