  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL Saints celebrated on the 6th of April WELCOME! SAINT JULIANA OF LIÈGE, VIRGIN Saint Juliana was a nun, born at Retinnes, near Liège, Belgium, in 1193. She died at Fosses, April 5, 1258. At the age of five she lost her parents and was placed in the convent of Mont-Cornillon, near Liège [Lüttich].  She made rapid progress, and read with pleasure the writings of St Augustine and St Bernard. She also cultivated an ardent love of the Blessed Virgin, the Sacred Passion, and especially the Blessed Sacrament.  In 1206 she received the veil, and devoted herself to the sick in the hospital in charge of the convent. She very early exerted every energy to introduce the feast of Corpus Christi.  In 1230 she was chosen superioress by the unanimous vote of the community. But soon God sent heavy trials. Her convent was under the supervision of a general superior, Roger, a man of vicious and scandalous habits; he secured this position in 1233 by intri...

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE Saints celebrated on the 19th of June   WELCOME! SAINT JULIANA FALCONIERI, VIRGIN The illustrious family of Falconieri in Italy received great honour from the sanctity of this holy virgin. Her father, Charissimus Falconieri , and his pious lady, Reguardata , were both advanced in years, and seemed to have lost all hopes of issue, when in 1270 they were wonderfully blessed with the birth of our saint. Devoting themselves afterwards solely to the exercises of religion, they built and founded at their own expense the stately church of the Annunciation of our Lady in Florence, which for riches and the elegance of the structure, may at this day be ranked among the wonders of the world.  Alexius Falconieri , the only brother of Charissimus, and uncle of our saint, was with St Philip Beniti, one of the seven first propagators and pillars of the Order of Servites , or persons devoted to the service of God under the special patronage of the Virgin Mary....
