ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.) The eldest boy of a poor cordwainer, in a small Belgian town, John was ever a dutiful, prayerful, and studious child. Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus.

MARTYRDOM AT ODYSSOPOLIS IN THRACE Saint Theophanes, Anastasius the librarian, and the modern Greeks tell us, that he completed his martyrdom at Odyssopolis in Thrace. Another Dorotheus , a martyr, chamberlain of Diocletian, is mentioned by Eusebius, and honoured with Saint Gorgonius on September 9. The same historian speaks of a third Dorotheus, a priest of Antioch in the same age, a most holy man, and perfectly skilled in the scriptures and in the Hebrew tongue. From Fr Butler's Lives of the Saints PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Dorotheus may increase our devotion and pr
