Andrew Bessette, C.S.C., to be canonized

This is nice news for all of my friends in Holy Cross, the religious community honored with the care of the mission of the University of Notre Dame:

Known popularly as the "miracle man of Montreal," Brother André Bessette, C.S.C.-an unassuming porter who became legendary for his ministry to the sick and needy of Montreal-was formally recognized today by the Vatican as one of six candidates who will be canonized a saint later this year.
