  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE Saints celebrated on the 8th of June WELCOME! SAINT MEDARD, BISHOP OF NOYON, CONFESSOR  (Sixth Age.) Saint Medard, one of the most illustrious prelates of the church of France in the sixth century, was born at Salency, in Picardy, about the year 457.  HIS FAMILY His father Nectard was a noble Frenchman, who made a figure in the king’s court; and his mother, Protogia, was descended of an ancient Roman family which was settled in Gaul. She brought to her husband several great estates, and among others that of Salency, situated about a league from Noyon. She was a lady of extraordinary piety, and the saintly education and early virtue of her son were the fruit of her attention and example, which was seconded by the authority and influence of her husband, whom she had gained to Christ from idolatry.  COMPASSION FOR THE POOR She instilled into Medard from his infancy, the most tender compassion for the poor. At Salency he one day gave his c...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE Saints celebrated on the 7th of June ST MERIADEC, BISHOP OF VANNES, CONFESSOR   Whilst Saint Meriadec [Meriadoc] lived in the world, he employed the revenue of a great estate of which he was master, in charitable works, and at length stripped himself of it principally in favour of the poor.  IN THE WILDERNESS From that time he lived a recluse in a desert place, a mile from the castle of Pontivi in the viscounty of Rohan in Brittany. The viscount himself visited the saint, and had the greatest veneration for his sanctity.  THE FATHER OF ALL THE DISTRESSED The canons and people of Vannes, seconded by the bishops of the province, compelled him much against his will to fill the episcopal see of that city. With this dignity his charity to the poor received a great increase; for he looked upon himself by that sacred character as it were anointed the father and comforter of all the distressed. Under his episcopal ornaments he wore a rough hai...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE Saints celebrated on the 7th of June WELCOME! SAINT COLMAN, BISHOP OF DROMORE, CONFESSOR   ⬅️ Litany of the Irish Saints Dromore, in the province of Ulster, sixty-three miles from Dublin to the north, derives the succession of its bishops from St Colman, who was descended from the sept of the Arads, and born in 516, according to bishop Usher.  THE FIRST ABBOT OF MUCKMORE He was the first abbot of Muckmore, in the county of Antrim, and afterwards chosen first bishop of Dromore, a small see under Armagh, and not far distant from it.  NUMEROUS MIRACLES Jocelin, in his life of St Patrick, tells us that his eminent virtue was foretold by St Patrick; and his legend ascribes many miracles to him, and the wonderful conversion of a great number of souls to God.  The ancient scholiast on the Ængussian Martyrology observes, that he was also called Mocholmoc. He died about the year 610, on June 7, on which his principal festival was kept, or,...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE Saints celebrated on the 7th of June WELCOME! SAINT ROBERT OF NEWMINSTER, ABBOT  (Abbot of Newminster, in England, of the Cistercian Order.) Saint Robert was a native of Yorkshire, and even in his childhood an enemy to the usual amusements of that age, loving only prayer, serious reading, and useful and pious employments. Having finished his studies, he was ordained priest, and instituted to a rectorship of a parish in the diocese of York; but after discharging that office sometime with great assiduity and zeal, he resigned that living, and took the religious habit in the Benedictine monastery of our Lady in York.  THEY FOUNDED THE FAMOUS ABBEY Richard, the prior of this house, and twelve others, desiring to serve God according to the primitive institute of the Benedictine Order, left the monastery, with leave of the abbot, and endeavouring to execute their project, struggled with incredible hardships; till Thurstan the pious archbishop of ...
