They Could Be Saints: Fr. Solanus Casey


Bernard Francis Casey (November 25, 1870 – July 31, 1957) was born in Oak Grove, Wisconsin. A Capuchin priest, Casey was known for his great faith, humility, and role as spiritual counselor and intercessor. The first United States-born man formally to be declared "Venerable" by the Roman Catholic church, Casey is a candidate now for beatification and possible sainthood.

Father Benedict Groeschel examines the life of Father Solanus Casey, a Capuchin priest who was not granted full priestly faculties because his seminary grades were poor, but nevertheless became one of the most sought after spiritual advisors in America.
