Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to the start of another voyage. We left our last voyage in September of 1894 and now we are in May of 1895.
Mother Cabrini is headed to Panama and she’s leaving from New Orleans. At the time of this recording, I’ve never been to New Orleans, though I would like to go. I really, really want a beignet and I’ve heard that they have gluten-free beignets there and so I feel I need to test them out. You know, make sure they are fit for human consumption and all.
But, back to Mother Cabrini. The start of this voyage is a little rocky, or should I say, rainy. The rain is causing some traveling issues and delayed departures, but good and helpful people are there to help Mother and make sure she gets to the steamer.
Let’s start out for Panama by opening to page 109.
