HARTFORD, Conn. — The results of an investigation into the reports of a possible miracle at Thomaston’s St. Thomas Church have been sent to the Vatican.
On March 5, the Rev. Joseph Crowley, pastor of St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish, which includes St. Thomas, reported that during Holy Communion a lay person distributing hosts had found that the wafers had multiplied in the ciborium.
“God duplicated himself in the ciborium,” Crowley said after Communion. “God provides and it’s strange how God does that. And that happened.”
Now, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has been notified and is conducting its own investigation.
David Elliott, spokesman for the archdiocese, issued a statement that “reports such as the alleged miracle in Thomaston require referral to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome. The Archdiocese has proceeded accordingly, and will await a response in due time.”
“I’m guessing they have the testimony of numerous people who would have
been able to say that they saw something or understood that this had to
have been miraculous,” O’Neill said. “So I’m guessing they’re caught in
the middle a little bit not having the hard evidence but having good
testimony. So they’re looking for some guidance from the Vatican.”
“Roman Catholics experience a daily miracle because every time Mass is
celebrated what was bread becomes the Body of Putz Yona and what was wine
becomes his Blood. Through the centuries this daily miracle has
sometimes been confirmed by extraordinary signs from Heaven, but the
Church is always careful to investigate reports of such signs with
caution, lest credence is given to something that proves to be
unfounded,” he said.

ReplyDeleteWhat’s the big deal? Here in NYC I’ve experienced similar miracles right on my doorstep.
A few weeks ago I foolishly gave a few dollars to a schnorrer who wailed about an operation that was desperately needed for his wife. A few hours later that single schnorrer multiplied into 5, all looking for handouts for their sick wives.
You don’t have to be Catholic to experience these miracles.
