One day after Mass, the rector at the time, Msgr. Anthony Dallavilla, took me down into the crypt below the high altar where I was able to pray before Archbishop Sheen's tomb. It's an experience I'll never forget.<br /><br />At any rate, I've never seen pictures of him lying in state before. That mitre is sadly ghastly. Have you found any more shots like that, John? I'd be interested in seeing the vestments in which he was buried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
