Outside the walls of the city of Gubbio, in Italy, there was a wolf so fierce that no one dared to leave the city, because it devoured not only animals but also people. So they called Saint Francis of Assisi, who was already famous for talking to animals; he had even prayed to the birds. Saint Francis went alone to face the wolf, and when the wolf was about to attack him, the Saint made the sign of the cross and called the wolf to come closer. A peace offer was made: the inhabitants of the city would give food to the wolf, and the wolf would no longer attack people or animals. While they were talking, the wolf nodded its head. In the end, Saint Francis made the wolf give his paw, and it did. Then, in the end, the wolf went alongside Saint Francis like a little lamb when he went to tell the population about the peace treaty.

Father Kauth asked that some dirt that was moved to make room for the new chapel be added to the small hill located behind the construction site. By raising this hill, Father created a great vantage point from which to survey progress. Our general contractor, Edifice, is doing great, and the project is on time and on budget. You can follow along from the comfort of your home or office by visiting the construction cam HERE
The columns and beams have now been joined for 2/3 of the chapel, and studs are being added in addition to the inner roof.
Please pray for the safety of our construction workers.
