GIUSEPPE OTTONE, SERVANT OF GOD

GIUSEPPE OTTONE, SERVANT OF GOD - 4 FEBRUARY

SERVANT OF GOD GIUSEPPE OTTONE

Servant of God Giuseppe Ottone, known as Peppino, first saw the light of day on March 18, 1928 in Castelpagano (Benevento). Born out of wedlock, he was taken in by a family who adopted him.

He was a pious boy, who received his First Communion on March 26, 1935. Peppino regularly shared his lunch with the needy and invited his less fortunate companions to his home. He was known for his special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Pompeii.

When his adoptive mother became gravely ill and had to face a very risky surgical procedure, Peppino, in prayer, offered his life in order for her to survive. At the age of twelve, Peppino collapsed in the street and despite being taken to hospital, he went to his eternal reward on February 4, 1941.

BL. LUKE KIRBY, PRIEST AND MARTYR - 30 MAY

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 30th of May WELCOME! BLESSED LUKE KIRBY, PRIEST AND MARTYR 16th century houses, painted by Auguste Mayer He was born in the bishopric of Durham, according to Raissius ; others say at Richmond, in Yorkshire. He was master of arts in one of our universities; but going abroad to Douay, in Flanders, was received into the English college there, 1576, and made priest in 1577; and the year following sent upon the mission. Where he had not been long before he again went abroad, and travelled to Rome, partly for devotion, and partly for further improvement in learning. Here he remained in the English college till 1580, when he returned into England, and was not long after apprehended: for I find by a printed diary of things transacted in the Tower of London from 1580 till 1585, that on the 5th of December, 1580, Luke Kirby, Thomas Cottam , and other priests, were brought to the Tower from other prisons; and that these two, on the 10th...

BLESSED RICHARD NEWPORT, PRIEST AND MARTYR Richard Newport, alias Smith , was born in Northamptonshire and performed his studies abroad, partly in the college of Rheims (if he be the Richard Smith whom I find in the Douay diary sent to Rome in 1586) and partly in that of Rome, where he was made priest. From thence he was sent upon the English mission, and behaved himself in such a manner as justly to acquire the character of a laborious missionary; being withal remarkably successful in bringing home many strayed sheep to the fold of Christ, to which his apostolical way of living did not a little contribute. He was several times apprehended and cast into prison, and twice banished. His name occurs amongst those who were transported in 1606; at which time, we are told, he took that opportunity of making a pilgrimage to Rome, there to pour forth his prayers at the tombs of the apostles, in behalf of thi...
