  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 30th of January WELCOME! VENERABLE MARY WARD, VIRGIN AND FOUNDRESS Venerable Mary Ward was born Joan Ward on January 23, 1585 in Mulwith, West Riding of Yorkshire, at a time of great conflict for Roman Catholics in England. For five years she lived with and was educated in Latin by her maternal grandmother, Ursula Wright, at Ploughland Hall, Welwick, who had been imprisoned for fourteen years for the "exhalation of the Catholic religion."  In 1595 her family home at Mulwith was burnt down in an anti-Catholic riot; the children, who were praying, were saved by their father. They went to live at the family's manor house, Newby until due to further anti-Catholic sentiment they were forced to move again. Mary took first Communion in Harewell, under the care of Mrs Ardington, daughter to Sir William Ingleby of Ripley, on September 8, 1598. In 1599 she moved to the house of Sir Ralph Babthorpe at Osgodby, North Riding ...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE Saints celebrated on the 1st of June WELCOME! SAINT CONRAD, ARCHBISHOP OF TRIER, MARTYR Saint Conrad (Cuno), (June 1), elected Archbishop of Trier and martyr, a descendant of a noble Swabian family, was born in Pfullingen, a four-hours' ride from Tübingen (Germany). He first saw the light of day at the beginning of the 11th century. Eylolf and Azecha (Hazecha), his parents, both distinguished by wealth and virtue, made sure that their son received a careful education.  When he was older Conrad met up with  Archbishop Hanno of Cologne (who may have been a relative of his). This holy prelate ordained him a priest and also appointed him provost at his cathedral church. When, after the death of Bishop Eberhard of Trier (Treves), Conrad was appointed his successor through the mediation of Archbishop Hanno, the clergy and the people of Trier vehemently opposed this choice.  Count Dietrich, who was in charge, rushed to meet the bishop on the...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY Saints celebrated on the 14th of February WELCOME! SAINT CONRAD OF BARI, HERMIT Bari Conrad (Conradus), the son of Henry and grandson of Welf IV, Duke of Bavaria, began his scientific education in his homeland. Afterwards Conrad went to Cologne, where he was instructed by Bishop Frederick, Margrave of Friuli. Due to his excellent progress in the sciences he was expected to embark on a most magnificent career.  But Conrad was looking for something other than temporal honours and headed for Clairvaux, where Saint Bernard had just started the foundation of this monastery. Conrad then undertook a pilgrimage to Palestine to the holy places and spent the rest of his life with a hermit who instructed him in all spiritual perfection. He died at Bari in Apulia.
