Merciful Jesus Carving (in iconic style) located at St. Paul's Church 304 Sinclair Lewis Avenue Sauk Centre, Minnesota |
Dedication of the Community of Sauk CentreThe Merciful Jesus Carving and the corner where it stands was dedicated on April 18th, 1982 at St. Paul's Church. The Holy Mass was celebrated by Bishop George Speltz, con-celebrated by Fr. Elmer Torborg and Fr. Richard Drabik, Provincial of the Marian Helpers of Stockbridge, MA who was the guest Homilist. Also attending the dedication Mass was Maureen Digan of Stockbridge, MA. Maureen witnessed to her miraculous recovery from illness at the gravesite of Blessed Faustina. The miracle was recognized by the Catholic Church and was used in the cause of bringing Sister Faustina to the honor of being called "Blessed Faustina." We believe this to be the first community in this country to be dedicated to the Mercy of God. |
