You forgot the Feast of the Miraculous Medal which we celebrate tomorrow – November 27th. I have the honor and pleasure of being at the Motherhouse in Paris and will be in the Chapel where Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine 180 years ago. The whole Vincentian family will be in my prayers as I pray in that special place. Happy Feast to all!
How could I have forgotten that!
Thanks for drawing attention to the oversight.
