George Washington converted to the Catholic faith on his death bed.
Washington’s household servants and personal aids are said to have prayed regularly with the first President, and they were observed to bless themselves with the sign of the cross, a uniquely Catholic practice.
Mount Vernon features a stained-glass window of the Blessed Virgin. This would have been an extremely irregular household decoration for an Anglican in the 18th century.
The most compelling evidence of George Washington’s conversion comes from the Jesuits. The story is that a Fr. Leonard Neale, SJ was called to Mt. Vernon on the night of Washington’s death. Tradition holds that the priest spent several hours with Washington just before he died. Fr. Neale’s written account of the evening was sealed in a letter and given to his superior who eventually sent the documents to Rome.
Thank GOD, I hope he did repent of his affiliation with Freemasonry & converted to the true Christian faith.
