BLESSED PETER SNOW, PRIEST AND MARTYR

[Blessed Peter Snow was an] English priest and martyr, he suffered at York, June 15, 1598. He was born at or near Ripon, and arrived at the English College, Reims, April 17, 1589, receiving the first tonsure and minor orders on August 18, 1590, the subdiaconate at Laon on September 22, and the diaconate and priesthood at Soissons on March 31, 1591. 

The following May 15, he left for England. He was arrested about May 1, 1598, when on his way to York with Venerable Ralph Grimston of Nidd. Both were shortly after condemned, Snow of treason as being a priest and Grimston of felony, for having aided and assisted him, and, it is said, having attempted to prevent his apprehension.
