Although these are not in exact order, they remain uppermost on our Curator’s list of favorite items. But, 2011 is a far cry from 2020, and he has acquired many more items since then.
We took the liberty of adding some more recent items, but it’s clear: the Curator will have his own ideas of what are the Real Favorites.
This list is an invitation to him to update it.
We remain in gratitude to Father Richard Kunst for his care of these very precious artifacts and look forward to what he wants to add to this list!
We’re betting on a Baseball Signed by Pope Francis, a Swiss Guard Uniform–a Gift from Mr. Paul Good, the Recent Letter from Pope Marcellus (added), A Letter from St. Damien of Molokai–all in his own handwriting, a John Paul I Cardinal Zucchetto (added), Items from St. Gianna Molla–gifts from her daughter…a really BIG ring,
To Name a Few!
