Dr. Milliner, thanks for putting you for putting this essay on your Substack. I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed your books “Mother of the Lamb” and “The Everlasting People.”

I was wondering if there is any plaque or marker designating the spot in Utica where Fr. Marquette celebrated Mass in 1675?

I’m afraid not on the precise spot! Though it might be the fact that it’s a floodplain. Good news is there is a Marquette statue and Catholic Church very close by. https://www.google.com/search?q=St.%20Mary%27s%20Catholic%20Church&ludocid=6829051224151849937&ibp=gwp;0,7&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj35_LP8c2MAxX278kDHSIsLaMQ_coHegQIIhAB&sxsrf=AHTn8zoL75DCuxcb16NxoXiFDf5SMaxPug:1744302619020
