ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER Saints celebrated on the 17th of October WELCOME! SAINT HERON, BISHOP OF ANTIOCH, MARTYR Today, we also commemorate Saint Heron. The Roman Martyrology states: "At Antioch, the birthday of Saint Heron, disciple of blessed Ignatius. Being made bishop after him, he religiously followed his master's footsteps, and, as a true lover of Christ, died for the flock entrusted to his keeping." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Heron may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
