SAINT AMBROSE EDWARD BARLOW, PRIEST AND MARTYR


⬅️ Forty Martyrs of England and Wales

[Saint] Ambrose Edward Barlow is a priest and martyr, born at Barlow Hall, 1585; he died September 10, 1641. 

THE BAPTISMAL REGISTER STILL EXISTS

He was the fourth son of Sir Alexander Barlow, Knight of Barlow Hall, near Manchester, by Mary, daughter of Sir Uryan Brereton, Knight of Handforth Hall, and was baptised at Didsbury Church on November 30, 1585; the entry in the register may still be seen. 

HE WAS ORDAINED A PRIEST IN 1617

Educated at the Benedictine monastery of St Gregory, Douai, he entered the English College, Valladolid, September 20, 1610, but returned to Douai where his elder brother William Rudesind was a professed monk. He was himself professed in 1616 and ordained in 1617. 

Sent to England, he laboured in South Lancashire with apostolic zeal and fervour. 

HE WAS APPREHENDED AT WARDLEY HALL

He was apprehended at Wardley Hall, near Manchester, on Easter Sunday, April 25, 1641. He was preaching at the time and could have escaped in the confusion, but yielded himself up to his enemies, and was carried off to Lancaster Castle.

Here after four months’ imprisonment he was tried, on September 6 or 7, and sentenced next day, having confessed that he was a priest. On Friday, September 10, he suffered the usual penalties at Lancaster.

FATIMA APPARITION - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August Marian Feast Days WELCOME! FATIMA APPARITION - AUGUST 13 The Fatima Children “BUT IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.” But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady.

  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.  And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright.  HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome. His modesty, his purity, shone out as great virtue always does; and the young laymen who attended the lectures would come to gaze upon his beautiful and holy face, and go away the better for the sight.
