SS. ONESIPHORUS AND PORPHYRIUS, MARTYRS - 6 SEPTEMBER

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER Saints celebrated on the 6th of September WELCOME! SAINTS ONESIPHORUS AND PORPHYRIUS, MARTYRS Saints  Onesiphorus and Porphyrius , Martyrs ( September 6 ; alternatively April 29 ).  Saint Onesiphorus , a disciple of the  holy apostle Paul , likely resided in Ephesus when the latter brought the Gospel there. He rendered every possible assistance to the faithful. Some include him among the seventy-two disciples; however, since he was from Ephesus, this cannot be considered correct. Likewise, the proclamation of the Gospel in Samaria - also attributed to him - appears entirely unfounded.

SAINT FEAST DAY 6 SEPTEMBER: ST MAGNUS OF FÜSSEN

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER Saints celebrated on the 6th of September WELCOME! SAINT MAGNUS OF FÜSSEN, APOSTLE OF THE ALLGÄU St Magnus (popularly known as St Mang) was an apostle of the Allgäu, South Germany. He died about 750 (655?).  VITA S. MAGNI The history of St Magnus is shrouded in obscurity. The only source is an old "Vita S. Magni". It relates that the two Irish missionaries, Columbanus and Gall, spent some time with Willimar, a priest at Arbon. Here Gall fell sick and was put in charge of Magnus and Theodore (Maginald and Theodo), two clerics living with Willimar, while Columbanus proceeded to Italy and founded the monastery of Bobbio.  When Gall had been miraculously informed of the death of Columbanus he sent Magnus to pray at his grave in Bobbio. Magnus returned from Bobbio with the staff of Columbanus and thereafter they followed his rule. After the death of Gall, Magnus succeeded him as superior of the cell. About this time a priest of the Diocese ...
