1997 - Bilingual Healing Mass at St. John's Cathedral

A crowd that would grow to 2,000 and fill all the space, including the aisles and sacristy at      St. John's Cathedral, Paterson, NJ, gathers for the March 16, 1997 bilingual Mass celebrated by Father Emiliano Tardif, Canadian-born Missionary in the Dominican Republic.                        The Mass closed the three-day retreat in Spanish directed for 2,500 people by Father Tardif,     a member of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, and involved in Charismatic Renewal and healing since a personal healing experience in 1973. Mass concelebrants included Rev. Msgr. Mark Giordani, second from left, Cathedral Rector.
