I have read several articles on Francis Houle and found them interesting.  I came to know about this man of God from my sister who also lives in Marquette, Mi and was prayed over twice by Francis.  To think, my sister said that Francis's hands touched her twice.  I thought back in my life if I had any experiences with a person who is on the way to sainthood and to my pleasant surprise I have to say yes.  I had as a teacher at Marymount in Arlington, VA the late Father John Hardin.  I believe I had him for two classes. He didn't pray over me but did autograph his pocket Catechism for me.  This was years ago.  You may know that his title is a Servant of God.
