SAINT FEAST DAY FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER   Saints celebrated on the 15th of November WELCOME! SAINT JUNIANUS, HERMIT According to several martyrologies, Saint Junianus (November 15), a hermit at Rheims (Remensis), was baptized by Bishop  Saint Remigius . Since, however, there is no information about him either in the Breviary and Directory of Rheims , or in the works of other Rheims writers, the Neo-Bollandists * infer in the Life of Saint Junianus on October 16 (VII. 842, nos. 23 ff.) that this Saint Junianus Remensis seems to be identical with Saint Junianus , who was probably also baptized by  Saint Remigius , and for whom a special feast might have been celebrated on November 15. They therefore list just  two saints with the name Junianus, namely S. Junianus Nobiliacensis and S. Junianus Commodoliacensis . The Elenchus * does indeed mention a "Hermit Junianus" on November 15, but without further details. Other hagiographers (e.g., in Migne *, the Frenchma...

BLESSED RICHARD WHITING, ABBOT AND MARTYR Glastonbury Abbey  Richard Whiting was the last Abbot of Glastonbury and martyr, parentage and date of birth unknown, was executed on November 15, 1539. He was probably educated in the claustral school at Glastonbury, whence he proceeded to Cambridge, graduating as M.A. in 1483 and D.D. in 1505. If, as is probable, he was already a monk when he went to Cambridge he must have received the habit from John Selwood, Abbot of Glastonbury between 1456 and 1493. He was ordained deacon in 1500 and priest in 1501, and held for some years the office of chamberlain of his monastery.  In February, 1525, Richard Bere, Abbot of Glastonbury, died, and the community, after deciding to elect his successor per formam compromissi , which places the selection in the hands of some one person of note, agreed to request Cardinal Wolsey to make the choice of an...
