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.

ST VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA - 7 JANUARY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 7th of January WELCOME! SAINT VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA Saint Valentine (Valentinus) is the patron saint of the diocese of Passau. The Proprium of Passau relates his life story as follows: Saint Valentine came from the seashore and arrived at Batava, today's Passau. Here he wanted to proclaim the gospel to the inhabitants, who were ignorant of the true worship of God, and therefore went to Rome to obtain the necessary authority from the Pope for this undertaking. Upon his return, he invested much time and effort to gain those lost souls for Christ, as the Pope expected him to. Valentine himself thirsted for their salvation, incessantly preaching the Divine word to them. After some considerable time, however, Valentine realised that all the seed he had sown fell on rocky ground. Thus he travelled again to Rome with the request to be sent to another place that had fertile soil. The Pope received him graciously, consecra...

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,...
