It is great that many Christian denominations embrace Father Frederic Baraga’s legacy as the primary Christian missionary for the North Shore, and it would have been more informative to mention his Catholicism and dedication to the faith in the story.
I assume that Zoar Lutheran Church has been in touch with local Catholic officials about these services at the Cross, and I hope their services are well attended by worshipers of many faiths. I sincerely hope that Pastor Lunde uses this opportunity to speak about our mutual beliefs and avoid the few things that we may not agree on.
