Sofia and Rueben Cavazos came to Le Mans for a few days to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary with Blessed Basile Moreau. Rueben works for the priests of Holy Cross at the University of Notre-Dame du Lac, and Sofia works for the parish of Saint Adalbert in South Bend.

A group of American pilgrims came to the shrine on Friday, November 7 to discover the French roots of their diocese in Indianapolis. Father John De Riso gave them a guided tour, and they celebrated mass around the tomb of Blessed Basil Moreau.
