The Beatification process for the Founder of the Missionaries
of the Sacred Hearts, Ven. Gaetano Errico, has been a lead story in
our last two Newsletters. We are joyous and humbly grateful
to God that we can announce to you that on April 24, 2001, Pope John
Paul signed the final decree of beatification. At the motherhouse
of the congregation in Naples, Italy and in out communities around
the world, joyous Masses of Thanksgiving were offered for this wonderful
moment in out history. Fr. Luigi Toscano,M.SS.CC., Superior
General of the congregation has indicated that the date of the official
beatification ceremony will be announced in November and may possibly
be scheduled for soon after Easter. A pilgrimage tour from the
United States to attend the ceremony for those wishing to share in
this glorious event, is in the early stages of planning. |

Over 1000 of
the faithful join members of the Missionaries in celebrating a Mass
of Thanksgiving at the motherhouse of the congregation in Naples,
Italy.
