¹) In Old Bavaria, Benno is the patron saint of both the city and the countryside, and consequently his feast day is a day of obligation.

*In this month, according to Catholic order, fasting is to be observed on both eves of the feast of Saint John the Baptist and the two Prince-Apostles Peter and Paul. On the feast of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, the commemoration of all the holy Apostles is also celebrated, since the feast of each Apostle is no longer celebrated with particular individual festivities, as in former times.

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 30th of May WELCOME!

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...

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.
