• Hopkins, MN Priest Couldn't Lift The Chalice During 'Spiritual Experience', Video Shows (patch.com) — Residents in Hopkins are talking after a video showed Father Brent Bowman at St. Gabriel's Catholic Church unable to lift the chalice during Mass, describing it later as a powerful private spiritual experience. He emphasized it was not a Eucharistic miracle but a moment of overwhelming awareness of God's presence, and hopes it inspires deeper reflection on the Eucharist among parishioners and students who witnessed it.
