The Morning Blend

Join Congregation of Holy Cross Priest Fr. Ronald Raab, CSC as he reflects upon the inspiring life and profound faith of Saint Andre Bessette who became the Congregations' first canonized Saint.  Explore how a deep devotion to Saint Joseph and a total trust in God's providence led this simple, poor and humble porter to be an instrument of countless healings.  Brother Andre was considered by many as the "Miracle Man of Montreal." Discover how this fragile man who considered himself as "Saint Joe's Little Puppy" could be a conduit to so many miracles.
