SAINT FEAST DAY FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER Saints celebrated on the 9th of November WELCOME! SAINT THEODORUS TYRO, MARTYR Saint Gregory of Nyssa begins the panegyric which he pronounced upon this martyr on his festival, at his tomb near Amasea, by gratefully ascribing to his intercession the preservation of that country from the inroads of the Scythians, who had laid waste all the neighbouring provinces.  "AS A SOLDIER DEFEND US..." Imploring his patronage, he says: "As a soldier defend us; as a martyr speak for us - ask peace: if we want a stronger intercession, gather together your brother martyrs, and with them all pray for us. Stir up Peter, Paul, and John, that they be solicitous for the churches which they founded. May no heresies sprout up: may the Christian commonwealth become, by your and your companions’ prayers, a flourishing field." THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS UNDER DIOCLETIAN Theodorus was a native of Syria or Armenia, young, and newly enlisted in the Roman ...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER Saints celebrated on the 9th of November   WELCOME! THE DEDICATION OF ST JOHN LATERAN St John Lateran is the oldest, and ranks first among the four great "patriarchal" basilicas of Rome. The site was, in ancient times, occupied by the palace of the family of the Laterani.  The palace came eventually into the hands of Constantine, the first Christian emperor, through his wife Fausta, and it is from her that it derived the name by which it was then sometimes called, "Domus Faustae". Constantine must have given it to the Church in the time of Miltiades, not later than about 311, for we find a council against the Donatists meeting within its walls as early as 313.

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER Saints celebrated on the 9th of November WELCOME! SAINT ELIZABETH OF THE TRINITY, VIRGIN Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity was born in 1880 in the military base at Avord in France. Her father was a Captain. St Elizabeth was baptised in the chapel of the military base. Sadly, her father died when St Elizabeth was seven years old and the family moved to Dijon. St Elizabeth had a terrible temper as a child, but after receiving her First Holy Communion she was able to gain more self-control as she deepened her understanding of God. SHE GAINED AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY She also gained a profound understanding of the Most Holy Trinity, which she cultivated in ardent devotion. St Elizabeth started to visit the sick, sing in the church choir and taught religion to the young people who worked at the local factories. As she grew older, St Elizabeth became interested in entering the Discalced Carmelite Order, though her mother was very much against t...
