Fr. Kapaun made a special visit to see St. Veronica in the catacombs. You can read more about Father Kapaun's cannonization process on that link. He's kind of a big deal around here ;)

Each Catacomb was set up in a similar manner, some had a standing open coffin box, or another way to drape white lacy cloth or linens around the saint. St. Paul had a desk set up with his writings. St. Sebastian, St. Nereus, St. Cecilia, St. Andrew, St. Agnes all had a tomb we visited.

This was one of the hallways lit up by tea lights. This is St. Andrew's tomb. Guests were led by a lantern bearing monk around the catacombs, there was Gregorian Chant in the background.
