Blacksmith of God

 Thanks to some council members who have dedicated their time, talents and energy, we can now offer - FREE OF CHARGE - an e-version of the book: Blacksmith of God.  

Written by P.E. Berton, OMI it is a chronical of the life and times of Brother Anthony Kowalczyk, our namesake and "a saint in waiting."

Our council is publishing it because we believe it is important to share our namesake's story and ask for your prayers in supporting the cause for his sainthood.

(April 2011) The Postulator received a call asking him to send as quickly as possible to the Congregation for Saints ten copies of the “Positio” on Brother Anthony. His was the first cause on the waiting list and the theologian consultors would proceed to study it in order to give their verdict on his heroic virtues so as to proclaim him “Venerable.” It is a crucial step in the journey to canonization. Let us ask God for a miracle through the intercession of the Servant of God, so that we achieve soon the beatification of an Oblate who is not a priest. (Joaquín MARTÍNEZ, General Postulator)
