Feast of Blessed Francis Seelos
1819-1867

  Worn Seelos Bench 
in St. Mary's Garden,
Annapolis, Maryland

Seelos  Shrine 
in New Orleans

BLESSED  FRANCIS X.  SEELOS

Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos

is the one to pray to and with

for a sense of humor. 

Sit with him on his bench in St. 

Mary's Garden in Annapolis, Maryland

or his shrine in New Orleans.

Sit with him, go to confession

to him, and you'll laugh with

his easy penance requirements.

And before you leave, let him tell you

a joke - laugh at life - and head home

having sat with the big easy.
