On July 25, the sacred exhumation of the casket containing the body of Msgr. Joseph Buh was carried out at Calvary Cemetery. “This is a necessary step for his cause for sainthood,” said Bishop Daniel Felton in a message to clergy and Pastoral Center staff. “All of this was done with significant respect and reverence.”
Msgr. Buh, considered the patriarch of the Diocese of Duluth, was born in 1833 in Slovenia and came to the United States in 1864 as a missionary. He served both Native Americans in the region and immigrants, especially Slovenian immigrants, and when the Diocese of Duluth was formed, he became its vicar general. He is said to have helped incorporate 57 parishes in the diocese.
