Episode 34

Julia Greeley was born a slave, and after she was freed she moved to Denver, where she became Catholic and developed a deep devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She would go around every First Friday and bring pamphlets to the firehouses. She did so much good for so many that her funeral was massive, and she is the only person buried in the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver.
