SAINT FEAST DAY FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

  WELCOME! MITZI OF KLINGENBERG, VIRGIN  Töß Monastery   Mitzi of Klingenberg,  Mathildis (Mitzi) von Klingenberg , a devout nun from Töß in Switzerland, was also active as a religious writer. With an innocent, joyful heart, she loved to sing, sometimes becoming so carried away that she never stopped singing. She was the choirmaster and received such great grace when she began the Mass that - a sign of her extraordinary love for God - tears would stream freely down her cheeks. She led the choir masterfully. Even in illness, she continued to sing until her death . (Burg.)

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY Saints celebrated on the 2nd of February WELCOME! SAINT PIGMENIUS, BISHOP Saint Pigmenius (Pimenius), commemorated on February 2, was a confessor whose relics were venerated in the monastery of Casalegas . Most probably he held the office of bishop, since a diocese subordinate to the archdiocese of Merida (Emerita) was established in his honour by King Wamba in Talavera in 676. Further details cannot be established with certainty. Most writers therefore identified him as a separate Saint, while Cardoso* reckons him to be Bishop Pimenius, who was present at the Council of Toledo in 638. His veneration in Spain is, in any case, established. It was confirmed by the Twelfth Council of Toledo. (I. 267 app. 942).

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 30th of May WELCOME! IDDA OF WETZIKON, PRIORESS Idda of Wetzikon ( Idda de Wetzikon ) (May 30), born to pious noble parents, first married a count and, after his death, entered the monastery of Töß . She soon distinguished herself in all monastic virtues and was therefore made to assume the office of prioress - against her will. As her final hour approached, another pious nun saw a bright star shining before Idda, whereupon she died. The year of her death is not easily determined. Bucelin *, according to Burgener *, writes that she went to her eternal reward in the year 1332. (VII. 234).

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER   Saints celebrated on the 21st of November WELCOME! BLESSED ROMAEUS OF LIVIA, RELIGIOUS Blessed Romaeus (November 21, November 1), was a Dominican friar, who died in Carcassonne in 1261. He was a native of Livia near Puycerdà ( Catalonia ) in Spain and is therefore also known as "the Catalan" or "of Livia."  From childhood, he was a fervent devotee of the Mother of God and thus entered the Order of Saint Dominic, where he enlightened the province of Toulouse through his sermons and holy examples. His relics were venerated for a long time but were scattered during the Revolution.  In Church art, he carries a rosary with his favorite words: Ave Maria!  (Hail Mary!)  (Guerin) (Information from  Stadler 's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints,  Volume  5, Augsburg, 1882, pp. 125-26) Stadler's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints - Sources and Abbreviations PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerabl...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH Saints celebrated on the 24th of March WELCOME! SAINT PIGMENIUS, PRIEST AND MARTYR Saint Pigmenius, priest and martyr of Rome, taught many in the Christian faith and was thrown into the Tiber in the year 363. We know nothing more about the cause and perpetrators of his death. Some sources state that the prefect Apronianus , out of hatred for Christians, organized a kind of persecution and killed many of the believers. Other writers attribute the blame to temporary mob uprisings caused by the followers of the abandoned pagan temples. A pious matron named Candida retrieved the lifeless body of Pigmenius from the river and buried it in the churchyard of Pontianus. Part of his relics is said to have later come to Prague. His "Acts," in which he is also credited with the education of Emperor Julian , as well as an address he is said to have given to this emperor in Rome, are fabricated. In the  Roman Martyrology *, he is listed on March 24 (III. ...

BLESSED DALMATIUS MONER, RELIGIOUS Encyclopedia of Saints Blessed Dalmatius Monerius [Dalmatius Moner], a Dominican monk from Girona (Gerunda) in Spain, was born to wealthy and noble parents in Saint Columba de Farnes, Catalonia, around the year 1291 and raised in all virtue and piety. After completing his studies in Girona and Montpellier ( Mons-Pessulanus ) in France, he resolved to enter the  Dominican Order . Upon his return from France, at the age of 23, he fulfilled this resolve by donning the habit of  Saint Dominic  in Girona. Because of his learning and knowledge, he was often offered good positions and other corresponding offices; however, he could not be persuaded to accept them. Blessed Dalmatius instead preferred to serve God in prayer and penance in a secluded corner of the monastery until his death.  He died at the age of 50 on September 24, 1341, and in 1721...
