All-Star Week & Keeping One’s Distance

Pope Benedict praying in Prague on Saturday

Just in case you missed it last fall: This week is All-Star Week at daily Mass! (Click the link for all the details.)

…The Holy Father went to the Czech Republic this past weekend.

He wanted to visit the relics of St. Wenceslaus, of course, and pray to the Infant of Prague.

(We have a Novena to the Infant at our parish every Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., by the way!)

But His Holiness’ main reason for heading east this past weekend was to be as far away from Detroit as possible. He was basically on the other side of the earth. He was 4,355 miles away from Ford Field when the darkness descended.
