Sterling Heights - The public phase of the cause for sainthood of a well-loved Detroit Province Jesuit priest got under way with this week's Detroit-area visit by representatives of the Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ, Archive and Guild.
Fr. Robert T. McDermott and James Maldonado Berry traveled from St. Louis to meet with some of the people who knew and worked with Fr. Hardon (1914-2000) during his final years in Detroit.
Born in Pennsylvania and raised in Cleveland, Fr. Hardon was one of America's most widely published Catholic priests during the decades of the 1960s,'70s and '80s. During the last decade of his life, he remained active, working from Detroit to support catechetical education throughout the country.
