This seminarian was involved in these activities -- rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, and the Alliance of the Two Hearts...

This is indeed good news, for it provides insight into the seminarian training program in Atlanta. This 'return' to authentic Catholic tradition is what will generate the next generations of Cathoic priests. We must pray that this will spread to the seminaries run by other dioceses, especially those controlled by the more liberal bishops.

The Rosary Group at the Cathedral in Atlanta boasts of several vocations -- the seminarian I mentioned plus a woman who joined Mother Angelica's order in Hanceville.

Additionally, this Rosary Group had two men leave to join the Franciscans of the Immaculata. They are in the State of New York somewhere between Syracuse and NYC (the monastery is a ways South of Binghamton, NY.

However, in the NYC area, there is the Blue Army Shrine (Washington, NJ area), the National Shrine to Padre Pio, and the Shrine to the Divine Mercy in Western Massachusetts (Stockbridge) not that far out I-90.

There is also (near Albany) the shrine to Blessed Kateri Tekawitha as well as the North American martyrs.

Philadelphia has two saints burined there -- Saint Katherine Drexel and Saint John Neuman.

The point of posting this info is that this might be an activity for church groups to get involved -- visiting The Blue Army Shrine by taking a bus and having a Mass at the Shrine, as well as saying the rosary.

Especially, if your parish or your diocese is having trouble.

Out West, just outside of Denver, is the Shrine to Saint (Mother) Frances Cabrini. These grounds are worth visiting -- especially by a Church group.

I guess the point is that the power of prayer should not be underestimated.

The Archbishop Emeritus of Atlanta (John Francis Donoghue) would always take a group to Washington DC each year from Atlanta on a pilgrimage.

The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception is also a place worth seeing -- on the campus of Catholic University.

Maybe Bishop Moniyhan can get a group to make a short pilgrimage so that there is more prayer for his Diocese and troubles.
