Index of Writings

A black-and-white interior photograph taken in 1941 at St. Bonaventure Monastery of Blessed Solanus Casey seated at a desk with his head down writing in a book. Seated across from him is a female visitor.

Blessed Solanus left behind mulitple volumes of journal entries that document the people he met, ministered to and prayed with and for. Starting in 2019, the Vice-Postulator began to index these writings to provide an overview of the ministry of Blessed Solanus Casey and the great diversity of people he met and served.

Index to the Writings of Blessed Solanus Casey

Volumes 1-4 & App. 1-3

Compiled by Edward Foley, Capuchin

A note about spelling: Fr. Solanus’ spelling was quite inconsistent; this index has tried to respect his usage.
