Dear Listmembers!
As I am living next to a church of pilgrimage (including a Franciscan
monastery, in the North of Bavaria, Germany), dedicated to Felix of
Cantalice, I have published a short summary about Felix of Cantalice in the
"Web": http://user.exit.de/robl/felix/felix.htm (in German, including
pictures of the church and monastery) . So I'm very interested in getting
some information about this commonly unknown saint. Is there anybody among
the learned list-members, who can give me a bibliographical hint? Are there
any other churches or monasteries in Europe or America, dedicated to Felix
of Cantalice?
Thanks for your reply!
Werner Robl
