Dear Brothers & Sisters, St. Camillus de Lellis (Tuesday) was a soldier of fortune in 16th century Italy. After a Damascus-like conversion, he pledged to devote his life in service of the sick, working tirelessly to improve the treatment and care of hospital patients. The Camillan Order that bears his name has branches all over the world. Saint Bonaventure (Wednesday) a 13th cent Franciscan theologian became superior general of the Franciscans and then a cardinal. He is commemorated in the Friary church at our Franciscan altar. Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Thursday) is the patron of the Carmelite order, and also patron of seafarers. Carmelite spirituality teaches that God is within. Three local saints come on Friday: (i) Kenelm son of King Kenwulf of Mercia. He was martyred on the Clent Hills as a teenager for his refusal to play power politics, and hence is patron saint of our Diocesan Youth Service. St.John Henry Newman used to make a walking pilgrimage to Clent this day each year. Year 6 children from OLC will join the 10.15 mass in church today (ii) Blessed John Sugar was born 1558 at Wombourne & became a C.of E. priest serving in Cannock. He became a Catholic, studied at Douai & was ordained priest 1601 He served in Warks, Staffs & Worcs, going on foot serving the “poorer & meaner sort of Catholics”. (iii) Blessed Robert Grissold of Rowington Warwickshire was the son of a weaver with great reverence for Catholic priests. He & Sugar were arrested July 8 1603 after a raid on the Grissold house. Robert refused his chance to escape & leave the priest behind. Both were offered a pardon if they’d conform but were hung at Warwick 16 July 1604. Balsall Common catholic church bears his name.
