WALKER, Minn. (OSV News) At a temporary altar in front of a gray corrugated steel park shelter, Bishop Andrew H. Cozzens and about 30 pilgrims knelt in the wet morning grass for benediction May 20. The prayers were part of a transition from a 1-mile solemn procession following 7:30 a.m. Mass at St. Theodore
In full vestments and flanked by pines, Bishop Andrew H. Cozzens held high the Eucharist in a golden monstrance, making the sign of the cross over the stream that flowed gently from the placid lake behind him. Next to him, a signpost read, "Here 1,475 FT above the ocean, the mighty Mississippi begins to flow on its winding way 2,552 miles to the Gulf of Mexico."
