The Bishop O'Brien Library in the St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield, CT, has an ornate wooden chair with a plaque identifying it as the chair Cardinal Pacelli sat in when he visited there. Anyone with details of his visit especially to St. Thomas Seminary, Mount St. Joseph Academy in West Hartford and St. Joseph College in West Hartford, please write me at jsheedy@catholictranscript.org.Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-57081290190138320152009-06-27T09:35:51.601-07:002009-06-27T09:35:51.601-07:00I was born June 1936 in Minneapolis, Mn and would ...I was born June 1936 in Minneapolis, Mn and would very much like to find out more on Cardinal Pacelli later the wonderful and 'Holy Pope Pius XII, visit to Minneapolis.ssoldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651729968202877304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-53793326039981452052009-06-27T09:31:37.394-07:002009-06-27T09:31:37.394-07:00I was born June, 1936 in Minneapolis, Mn and would...I was born June, 1936 in Minneapolis, Mn and would very much like to know more on Cardinal Pacelli visit to Mn.ssoldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651729968202877304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-24499644540540863562009-06-25T19:54:21.607-07:002009-06-25T19:54:21.607-07:00The Car and Carriage Caravan Museum at Luray Caver...The Car and Carriage Caravan Museum at Luray Caverns, Virginia, has a 1928 Packard on display that they say may have been used by Pacelli - they say Pope Pius XII - on his trip.

Peter and Paul, St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, and Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital in the suburban Philly borough of Darby.<br /><br />In the Chapel of Fitzgerald Mercy, there still is a plaque on a kneeler commemorating where Cardinal Pacelli....within 3 years the great Pope Pius XII, knelt in prayer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
