Dear Brothers & Sisters Saint Lawrence of Brindisi (Monday)was a 16th century Capuchin Franciscan famous for preaching in many different languages including Hebrew. St.Mary of Magdala (Tuesday) followed Jesus and stood by the cross on Good Friday when nearly all apostles had run away. She was 1st to see the risen Jesus. Nothing in the Bible backs the old legend that she was once a prostitute. Saint Bridget of Sweden (Wednesday) had 8 children before she & her husband decided to join monasteries. She founded the Bridgettine sisters, who today have a house in Birmingham. St.Charbel Makhlouf (Thursday) was a 19th century Lebanese son of a mule driver who became a Maronite monk and priest. Famed as a hermit & counsellor his intercession is sought by many St.James Apostle (Friday) a Son of Zebedee, was head of the church in Jerusalem & martyred under King Agrippa. Centuries later his relics were moved to Spain, so starting a tradition of pilgrimage to his tomb: Santiago de Compostella. He is patron of Spain & several Spanish speaking countries. Sts. Joachim & Anne (Saturday) parents of Our Lady (following early Christian tradition). We have fine statues of both near our Lady Chapel.
