* Easter Sunday usually falls in this month; in ancient times, its celebration solemnly extended into the following Monday and Tuesday. Nowadays, however, only Monday is publicly observed as a festive day; yet within the Church, the Easter season continues for an octave of weeks - that is, eight weeks. During this solemn celebration, every Christian should conduct themselves according to the directives of their bishop. In this month, the commemoration of Saint Mark takes place - in accordance with ancient Church custom - with a procession and the chanting of the Litany of All Saints. In times past, Christians abstained from eating meat on this day.

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.

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...
