MICHEL LE NOBLETZ, PRIEST - 5 MAY

VENERABLE MICHEL LE NOBLETZ, PRIEST

Dom Michel Le Nobletz (Breton: Mikel an Nobletz) (1577 - 1652) was a vigorous Counter-Reformation missionary priest active in the west of Brittany, who was responsible for a revival of popular Catholic culture. He developed new methods of teaching, and invented distinctive painted placards - known as taolennoù - which became widely used in the area.

PAINTED PLACARDS

Father le Nobletz brought many people back to the faith, but his severe views and denunciations of alleged vice among local business leaders and even other priests led to accusations that he was a fanatic; he was nicknamed "the mad priest". Undaunted, he tirelessly and zealously continued with his mission work, knowing that not everyone will like the fact that you preach the truth.

HIS HOLY DEATH

In his final months, he suffered from Parkinson's. Father le Nobletz died on May 5, 1652 at Conquet. He was buried in the church of Lochrist. In 1856 his remains were transferred to the building which became the parish church of Conquet.

The Church declared him "venerable" in 1897. The Bishop of Leon initiated his beatification in 1701.

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...

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,...
