With nearly three million visitors each year, Zion National Park is Utah's most heavily visited and oldest national park, designated in 1919. Located near Springdale, it’s known for its unbelievable canyons and outstanding views. Adventure enthusiasts from around the world flock to Zion and hike its famous trails such as The Narrows, Subway, and Angels Landing. Most park facilities are located within the 15 mile long Zion Canyon area, and it attracts the most visitors. Zion National Park Lodge is located in the canyon where the rock walls rise up to a half a mile and is cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River.

At the beginning of his missionary career, he placed the souls over which he would have charge under the protection of the Blessed Mother, deciding to take with him to each of his missions an image of Mary.

Yet, these rays were not painful to the sight; but seemed rather directed to “Born in the Azores Islands, Portugal and raised in California, Father Joseph Hyacinth Valine entered the Dominican Order in 1922 and was a member of the first graduating class of St. Thomas College in 1927. After ministering 12 years to Portuguese immigrants in California and Oregon, he was later called to Utah in 1941 by Bishop Duane Hunt. Assigned first to Logan and then to Richfield, Fr. Valine came to Milford in 1947, and remained there actively serving as pastor for 45 years until dying at the age of 95. Renowned as Utah’s “Donut” priest, Father Valine traveled more than 2 million miles across his 31,000 square mile parish while serving Southern Utah’s far flung Catholic community.” – Excerpts taken from the |
