Photos of Cardinal Burke at Guadalupe Shrine.

Okay snowbirds, here's a few more photos for your viewing pleasure.  The first few are from the feast of Juan Diego and children being enrolled in the St. Juan Diego which is managed through the Shrine.  The second set is from Saturday (when the snow really started to pick up) for the moved feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  Many were unable to attend like the group from the Institute of St. Joseph due to weather.  The Mass also included enrollment of boys into the Knights of the Altar. 






 Bishop Alexander Sample of the Diocese of Marquette.  I tried to find him after Mass to thank him for his recent and continual support of the Traditional Mass but I missed him.  And if you didn't know, he's tall. 




 And this is my first ever photo with His Eminence even before he was out Eminencing around.  He's got one of those steel trap memories.  He remembers me after I introduce myself every time.  He knew my grandpa through the Knights of Columbus.  I found out that at one time we had three bishops in our La Crosse council at the same time.  And yes, I do look quite beardly.  Thank you for noticing.  In fact several people (I'm lookin at your Father S.M.) don't even recognize me when I say hi. 

The whole set:
 

Alright, back out to finish up shoveling.

Thanks for posting these. I was supposed to go with ISJ, was supposed to drive out there on Friday and travel with them Sat...but apparently God saw fit to send a massive storm completely contrary to my very specific prayers for good weather!

OH, well. Bless the ice and chill, bless the snow and rain, Blessed be God forever!

BTW just realized I don't have you on my blogroll, a problem that will be quickly remedied.

Thanks!

Thanks for the good post. I wish we could have made to at least one of the Masses that Cardinal Burke was at last week. Oh well. I'll have to wait until next time.

Thanks both for the kind words.

That is a nice picture of you. I thought you would be sporting "Mutton Chops" by now. That is cool that Cardinal Burke remembers you (as well your grandpa) everytime you see each other.
