“He was living what Jesus said in the Gospel: ‘Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.’ I hope that the cause will move forward and that Brother Columba would become the first saint from South Bend, Indiana.”
~ Most Reverend Kevin C. Rhoades
Bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend
“This person who is emerging as a saint isn’t the scholar, isn’t the administrator. He was a shoemaker,” said Brother Kenneth Haders, C.S.C., Provincial Superior, Midwest Province of Brothers, Congregation of Holy Cross, in the new documentary In Kind Love, the Life and Legacy of Brother Columba O’Neill, C.S.C. “I’m excited about the prospect of canonizing our brother Columba O’Neill.”
Known as the “Miracle Man of Notre Dame,” Brother Columba O’Neill, C.S.C., was a member of the Congregation of Holy Cross and is currently under consideration for sainthood in the Catholic Church. A collaboration between NewGroup Media, the Midwest Province of Brothers, and the Congregation of Holy Cross, United States Province of Priests and Brothers, has produced a new documentary titled “In Kind Love, the Life and Legacy of Brother Columba O’Neill, C.S.C.” This piece tells the inspirational story of a man’s quest to live a life of faith.
“Through the sacred heart, Columba was a humble instrument of God’s healing in the world,” shared Rev. Ronald Raab, C.S.C., in the documentary.
