Quick Hits: Building a cathedral, single-handed
By Dr. Jeff Mirus ( bio - articles - email ) | Jul 14, 2016 | In Quick Hits
Thomas Van, who is currently fulfilling a different set of obligations overseas, has not lost his knack for finding intriguing Catholic points of interest on the web. The other day, he sent me a link to a brief video about a 90-year-old man who has been building a cathedral in Spain, essentially alone, for the past 53 years.
You'll find the video at this link: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/07/a-lone-man-spends-53-years-building-a-cathedral-by-hand/. Learning about the unusual Catholic mission of Justo Gallego will not take you a half-century—just two minutes and twenty seconds.
