Thank you for posting this. My 85 year old father has been following this but I’m not sure if he knew it was so close.

Brother Andre was a friend of Dad’s family when he was a boy living in Montreal. He says Andre used to have dinner at their house quite often. Needless to say Dad has a devotion to him and is always encouraging me and my family to pray to him.

Well it’s here! I’m sure your Dad will be overjoyed!

There are two saints I call by the titles besides St. the titles of Brother and Sister, St. Brother Andre and St. Sister Maria Faustina. One honors my French-Canadian heritage, the other Polish.
