ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH

Saints celebrated on the 26th of March

HUGH, BISHOP OF LIMERICK 

Hugo [Hugh], surnamed de Lacii, Bishop of Limerick in Ireland, was of noble family of the county of Munster (Momonia) in Ireland. 

King Henry VIII (1509-1547) already threw him into prison because he could not win him over to his bad cause. 

PERSECUTIONS

After he was released some time before Henry's death, he saw himself exposed to new persecutions under Edward VI. (1547-1553), which he escaped by fleeing to France. 

When Mary Stuart (1558-1587) subsequently came into power, he was reinstated in his diocese, which he administered with great enthusiasm. 

HIS HOLY DEATH

But under Elizabeth (1558-1603) the 60-year-old old man was forcefully removed from his See because he was not compliant with her intentions. He was imprisoned and finally released from his suffering by death on March 26, 1577.

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. In disgust, the administrator finally freed them. A large number of people, not knowing that the children had been kidnapped, went to the Cova for the scheduled appearance of the Lady. At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...

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.  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. GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mar...
