 General Description:

He was a simple Capuchin priest who worked most of his life as a monastery doorkeeper; yet in his 86 years, this unassuming monk was a conduit of God's loving mercy and healing.

During his lifetime, Father Solanus Casey was often heralded as a 20th century saint and on July 11, 1995, Pope John Paul II declared him to be "venerable," the first official step toward sainthood.

People flocked to him.  Those looking for cures from cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis.  Those seeking help for broken marriages, broken hearts, and broken lives.  Those wanting to find spiritual health and renewal.  To each person, Father Solanus brought an aura of God's goodness and grace.

This beloved and remarkable servant of God was born near Prescott, Wisconsin, on November 25, 1870.  He entered the novitiate of the Capuchin Franciscans in Detroit when he was 26 years old.  Since he was not considered very bright by his superiors, after his ordination he was allowed to say Mass, but not to preach or hear confessions, and was assigned duties as a doorkeeper.  Yet, it was from his humble acceptance of his lot in life that Father Solanus was able to help thousands physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  He died on July 31, 1957, in Detroit; the final words on his lips were said to be "I give my soul to Jesus Christ."

In showing others that a life-giving faith and a love of God can be both powerful and simple, Father Solanus is a source of encouragement and a model of virtue for the modern world.
