Saints celebrated on the 1st of March

LANDULPH, ARCHBISHOP OF AMALFI

Landulph (Landulphus Carraciolus), a noble Neapolitan of the Carraciola Rubea family, joined the Order of the Friars Minor, became a pupil of the famous John Duns Scotus, then doctor at the college in Paris.

He was appointed provincial of his Order in the Neapolitan province of Terra di Lavoro and in 1326 bishop of Castellamare (Castello a Mare di Stabia, Castellum Stabiense).

In 1331 he became Archbishop of Amalfi, where he worked for more than twenty years, and also built the choir of his metropolitan church. He used all his earnings to beautify the churches and to help the poor. He died in the reputation of holiness in 1350 (perhaps a few years later). Both Pope John XXII and King Robert of Naples are said to have thought very highly of him. In any case, he was a great scholar and left several written works. In Art. Mart.* he is called "blessed." The Bollandists* list him among the Praetermissi. (I.4)

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.

GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mary’s Assumption in 1
