ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER

Saints celebrated on the 27th of September

VENERABLE TEOFILO CAMOMOT, BISHOP

Venerable Teofilo Bastida Camomot was born in Cebu, Philippines, on March 3, 1914. Ordained a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Cebu on December 14, 1941, he was eventually appointed an auxiliary bishop on March 23, 1955 and receiving the titular see of Clysma. 

He became coadjutor archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro on June 10, 1958, becoming titular archbishop of Marcianopolis. Venerable Teofilo resigned for health reasons on June 17, 1970, but continued to be very active for the Church. He was killed in a vehicular accident in San Fernando on September 27, 1988 at the age of 74.

HIS DILIGENCE IN HIS PASTORAL DUTIES

Venerable Teofilo's actions spoke louder than words. He was noted for his diligence in his pastoral duties, - spending hours in the confessional - devotion to prayer, - waking up very early for his morning prayers and meditation - as well as his numerous works of charity. 

HIS PERSONAL HOLINESS

His parishioners until now cannot forget his simplicity, his personal holiness, and his apostolic works especially among the poor, the sick, the homeless, and the suffering. His simplicity was attested by so many people even fellow prelates. There were many stories about Venerable Theodilo's Franciscan-like poverty. 

HIS GIFT OF BILOCATION

He was also known for his spiritual gifts of healing, reading hearts, levitation, and bilocation. Cebu archbishop emeritus Ricardo Jamin Vidal said there were several testimonies about Camomot's bilocation or there were people who would see him present in two places at the same time. Affidavits to that effect have been signed, and his case for sainthood is progressing.

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,...

BL. RICHARD NEWPORT, PRIEST AND MARTYR - 30 MAY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 30th of May WELCOME! BLESSED RICHARD NEWPORT, PRIEST AND MARTYR Richard Newport, alias Smith , was born in Northamptonshire and performed his studies abroad, partly in the college of Rheims (if he be the Richard Smith whom I find in the Douay diary sent to Rome in 1586) and partly in that of Rome, where he was made priest. From thence he was sent upon the English mission, and behaved himself in such a manner as justly to acquire the character of a laborious missionary; being withal remarkably successful in bringing home many strayed sheep to the fold of Christ, to which his apostolical way of living did not a little contribute.  He was several times apprehended and cast into prison, and twice banished. His name occurs amongst those who were transported in 1606; at which time, we are told, he took that opportunity of making a pilgrimage to Rome, there to pour forth his prayers at the tombs of the apostles, in behalf of thi...
