Dear Brothers & Sisters, St Chad (Monday) was born in the 7th century. He was educated at Lindisfarne. As a bishop he established his See at Lichfield. His reputation spread quickly and favourably as a kind pastor who sought out the lost and cared for the sick. He died at Lichfield in 672. today his shrine is located in St Chad’s Cathedral, Birmingham. He is the patron saint of the Archdiocese. St Casimir (Wednesday) He was the son of King Casimir IV and Queen Elizabeth, monarchs of Poland and Lithuania. In contrast to other members of the royal court, he was a shining example of faith, piety, humility and chastity. He had a great love for the Eucharist and the Virgin Mary. He was named Patron Saint of Poland in 1602. St Perpetua & St Felicity (Saturday) St Perpetua, a young mother of noble birth, and St Felicity, a heavenly pregnant slave girl, were imprisoned at Carthage in 203 because of their faith. Before they met their death, Felicity gave birth to a girl and Perpetua was still nursing her new-born son. They were thrown to wild beasts in the arena. The passion of Perpetua provides a particular vivid account of their martyrdom. They are included in the Roman Canon. ********** Bereavement Support Group. Blessed are those who mourn. Our bereavement support group is a monthly gathering for anyone seeking support following a loss. All are welcome, regardless of how long ago the loss has occurred or what kind of loss one is facing. We gather the first Sunday of the month for prayer conversation and encouragement of one another as we continue on our grief journey. We are not a counselling group but promise good listening skills, respect for confidentiality and of course a cuppa. Meeting today Sunday 1st March, 3pm to 4.30pm, Friary Lounge. For information you can contact Friary Office on 7060505 |
