Last updated on: December 6, 2016 at 4:58 pm By Father Pablo Migone

The real, historical Saint Nicholas, not the jolly Old Saint Nick Coca Cola has given us, was born in the year 270 and became bishop of Myra in Asia Minor. There are two well known stories linked to Saint Nicholas, one comes from folklore, the other from historical accounts. The first is depicted below in an ancient work at the Church of San Saba in Rome. There was once a poor man with three daughters who was unable to afford... Read more

First US-born martyr declared

Last updated on: December 2, 2016 at 2:18 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Pope Francis officially recognized today the martyrdom of Father Stanley Rother, a priest of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City who was killed in Guatemala, making him the first martyr born in the United States. This recognition of his martyrdom clears the way for his beatification. Already on June 25th, 2015, a theological commission at the Congregation of the Causes of Saints voted to formally recognize him as a martyr. At that critical moment, the Archbishop of Oklahoma City stated that... Read more

From Darkness into Light, from Genocide to Hope

Last updated on: November 24, 2016 at 5:29 pm By Father Pablo Migone

On April 6th, 1994, the airplane carrying the Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana was shot down seconds before landing in Kigali. Absolute chaos descended upon the central African country of Rwanda for the next one hundred days as almost one million people were massacred. The genocide was perpetuated by members of the Hutu majority tribe against the Tutsi minority. Decades of vitriolic speech, systematic discrimination, and occasional violence erupted into an unimaginable disaster. Corpses bearing signs of rape and machetes littered... Read more

King of Time and Talents

Last updated on: November 20, 2016 at 4:50 pm By Father Pablo Migone

When I was thirteen, my family visited Savannah for the first time. We attended Mass at the Cathedral, an annual Mass when those celebrating 25th and 50th wedding anniversaries are recognized by the Bishop. I would love to say that this particular day was somehow significant for me; but it was not. We came for the Mass, had a family picture taken in the hall with Bishop Lessard, ate lunch at the Boar’s Head on River Street and drove back... Read more

I wrote this article over one month ago about an experience that happened this past summer. I pray that events like this one do not become more frequent, given the current atmosphere in our country. An elderly woman boarded the airplane and walked past me on the way to her seat. A few seconds later, she returned and stood next to me looking confused. The flight attendant asked for her boarding pass. She was assigned to the seat next to... Read more

Catholic Lima: Santuary and Convent of the Nazarenas

Last updated on: November 7, 2016 at 11:09 am By Father Pablo Migone

Built in the early 1700s, the Santuario y Convento de las Nazarenas is a special location for every Peruvian, especially for limeños. The Carmelite Sisters who have lived here for several centuries take care of the Patron of the City of Lima, El Señor de Los Milagros. El Señor de Los Milagros is a simple depiction of Christ crucified with his mother and Saint John standing at his side. Above the cross descends the Holy Spirit in the form of a... Read more

Catholic Lima: Birth house of Saint Martin de Porres

Last updated on: November 3, 2016 at 1:38 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Though canonized just in 1962 by Pope John XXIII three centuries after his death, devotion to San Martin de Porres has been present in the hearts of generations of Peruvians. From the moment of his death on November 3rd, 1639, the citizens of Lima have remembered his love and devotion to the poorest of the city. Born in Lima in 1579 in the house pictured above, Saint Martin grew up close to the Dominican Convent of the city. He entered that same... Read more

With this post, I continue the virtual tour of Catholic churches and sites of Lima, Peru. This city is rich in history and beauty. I hope these posts bring a greater awareness of the religious sites Lima has available to pilgrims and tourists. Lima may be considered the city of saints. Three canonized saints lived at the same time in 16th century Lima: Saint Rose, Saint Martin of Porres and Saint Toribius of Mogrovejo. The least known of the three is... Read more
