April 30th, 1927: St. Josemaria moves to Larra st. in Madrid

Luz Rodriguez Casanova

On this date, St. Josemaria moved into the Priests’ residence in Larra street, Madrid.
He arrived in Madrid and stayed for the while in a room in #2 Farmacia street. The rent was too expensive. The residence was an initiative of the “Damas Apostólicas del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus”. Mrs. Luz Rodriguez Casanova, founder of the Foundation for the sick, heard of ‘a priest’ that had arrived at the residence, willing to help with his ministry in some apostolic work. Mrs. Luz was quite impressed after meeting him (he was 35 at the time) and decided to get him the appointment of chaplain of the Foundation for the Sick which she had founded and promoted. He was appointed on June 10.
Mrs. Casanova's cause for canonisation is now open.
