Was It A Miracle? Trip To Rome Relieved Gables Tailor's Suffering
IT WAS A MIRACLE, explains James Santacroce. The Gableite, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, is telling of the "tingling" sensation he felt when Pope John in the Vatican raised his hands, nodded at Santacroce and miraculously, his pain eased. "I never believed in miracles before," said James Santacroce, 60-year-old Miracle Mile tailor who recently experienced a remarkable recovery from Parkinson's Disease after visiting the Pope in Rome. Santacroce was stricken with the crippling disease last spring, shortly after suffering a stroke. When his condition failed to improve under the care of several doctors, Santacroce decided to return to his native Italy to see the Pope. He did not go for the purpose of being cured, but only to "get close to the atmosphere of God." In a general blessing of the crowd of several thousand. As people, Pope John was carried on a golden chair among the The Pope stopped within two feet of him, Santacroce raised his head and uttered, "God, help me." Immediately he felt a tingling sensation starting in his feet and spreading throughout his body. He was simultaneously able to stretch out his hands and his condition gradually became less severe. Santacroce still has a few symptoms of the disease, but his doctors are amazed at his sudden change for the better. Santacroce came to the United States at the age of 15 and settled in New London, Conn. In 1925 tuberculosis necessitated his move to Miami. With a $21 investment, he went into the tailoring business, a trade which has supported his ancestors since the 15th Century. He rented working quarters for a percentage of his gross. For food, he traded suits to a restaurant owner. He traded tailoring to newspaper editors to obtain advertising space. Tailor For Presidents As Florida grew, so did Santacroce's business. He tailored for the sons of three Presidents—Roosevelt, Hoover and Coolidge. He also opened an Italian restaurant on Dixie Highway, which is now managed by his son. Santacroce has given several scholarships to the University of Miami for the most advanced student in nuclear physics. "This," he says, "is a field which will help my country most." He also made the first donation to the Parkinson Foundation, which plans to build a center in Miami.
