Basilica of St. Ambrose & St. Charles Borromeo

Also on Wednesday, 11/5, we visited the Basilica of St. Ambrose & St. Charles Borromeo and prayed in front of St. Charles' heart! Yes, his real heart - he is one of many saints whose body is incorrupt! Amazing! His feast day was November 4. 

St. Charles was the archbishop (and eventually a cardinal) of Milan at a time when chaos ruled. He helped to bring about the successful conclusion to the Council of Trent in 1563, and this was the year he was ordained a priest & bishop. In addition to being untiring in reforming the Church and especially his archdiocese, St. Charles was also a humble man. Check out these photos.
