ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER

Saints celebrated on the 30th of October

WELCOME!

BLESSED ANNA MARIA TAUSCHER VAN DEN BOSCH

Blessed Anna Maria Tauscher van den Bosch was born in the German Confederation on June 19, 1855 to Hermann Traugott Tauscher and Pauline van den Bosch. She came from a religious background for her father was a Protestant pastor.

From 1885 to 1888 she worked with those suffering mental disabilities at an institution in Cologne, but lost her job following her conversion. On October 30, 1888 she was received into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. 

Maria Theresia of Saint Joseph (her name in religion) founded the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus on July 2, 1891 after having opened a home for neglected children just prior to that in Berlin. She made her vows in 1893.

The new Order took on the Carmelite charism to the fullest and coupled it with apostolic service. Her concern was directed to poor and neglected children in addition to families and individuals who had left the Church. Her order was also focused on immigrants and the aged. She published 'The Servant of God'.

Bl. Anna Maria moved to the Netherlands in 1899 to expand her congregation and to continue her work; the order was later aggregated to the Discalced Carmelites on October 25, 1904 and it later received the decree of praise from Pope Pius X on May 9, 1910. Pope Pius XI granted papal approval to the order on May 12, 1930.

Maria Theresia of Saint Joseph died on September 20, 1938. In 2005 there were 454 religious in 53 houses in nations such as Iceland and Nicaragua. Her feast day is not the day of her passing, but that of her entry into the Church.

Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Blessed Maria Theresia of Saint Joseph may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

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...
