Happy Mother’s Day! Now we’re back on a weekly schedule, with the longest SaintCast to date. Have you ever wondered about the remains of Saints who are said to be incorruptible? What does this mean? There are over 100 well-documented cases of bodies of saints remaining incorrupt for many, if not hundreds of years. We’ll talk about this phenomenon, and give you resources for further study. Hear about the new beatifications that took place this past weekend. We’ll go through the mail bag, and introduce a new voice feedback (call-in) number.

Next week, a visit to the National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi. . .
