Columban Cal 2021 MASTER V12 Layout 1 COLUMBAN MISSIONARIES 2021 CALENDAR MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF ST. COLUMBAN Registered Charity in England & Wales (221594) and in Scotland (SCO38948) St. Columban’s, Widney Manor Road, Solihull, West Midlands B93 9AB Telephone: 01564 772096 E-mail: [email protected] Visit our website - www.columbans.co.uk Dear Columban Friend God is love and those who abide in love abide in God. 1 John 4:16 Happy New Year! It is probably fair to say that the passing from the old year to the new will carry more significance than usual on this occasion. The coronavirus pandemic has shaped our lives in ways few could have predicted. Its far reaching and devastating impact on so many people will be remembered for years to come. I pray that whatever your experience has been, you have known the consolation of God’s abiding love and you feel hopeful as we begin our journey together through 2021. Columban missionaries are inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical ‘Fratelli Tutti: on fraternity and social friendship’, which resonates with the Columban experience of mission. A notable source for the encyclical is Francis’ dialogue with the Grand Imam Ahmad Al-Tayyeb and their commonly held belief that “God has created all human beings equal in rights, duties and dignity, and has called them to live together as brothers and sisters”. Francis calls us to share their dream and in their commitment to a world in which no one is isolated and all people matter. What does this mean for each one of us called to be a part of God’s mission? We draw strength and encouragement for our mission work from the Columban community of ordained and lay missionaries, together with co-workers, and people like you who remember us in your prayers and provide us with the financial assistance we need. As we begin this New Year, we are ever more grateful for the blessing of this friendship and of our responsibility to give generously in return for all that we receive. May this calendar, our prayers and all that we share with you through our magazines, website, eNewsletter and social media serve to nourish and encourage you in the challenges and joys that lie ahead. In 2020, we welcomed new lay missionaries to Britain – Roberta from Korea and Ling and Sophia from New Zealand (pictured above) – and we hope to welcome Fr. John Boles and Fr. Pat O’Beirne once travel restrictions are lifted. Please pray for this new chapter in their mission life. We plan to begin again our annual ‘visit’ to parishes for the mission appeal, in the dioceses of Shrewsbury and Southwark and in Scotland; and we are exploring alternative ways to do this when we are unable to visit in person, so we can continue to share our rich mission experience with the local Church. This year, let us pray the concluding prayer of ‘Fratelli Tutti’, printed on the back page of the calendar, and dream together of ‘a more dignified world’.

There were few villages and towns in Lancashire that were left untouched by the ‘iniury of the tymes’ when Catholicism was driven underground and her adherents were persecuted mercilessly, some condemned to death. At that time Lancaster was the seat of the assizes in North West England and in recent years the Church has recognised the heroic virtue of 14 priests and laymen from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered on account of their faith on the outskirts of the city. The prayers within this book have been collected from devotional tracts and books of that time, all of which would have been considered contraband.

Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:12-13 Do you have 2020 vision? If, like for me, advancing years have compromised the clarity of your eyesight, the simple answer to this question might be ‘no’! Like St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, however, I am not referring to our physical vision. For the Church, the New Year begins not on 1st January, but on the 1st Sunday of Advent. Christmas is not a feast for the end of the year, but a new beginning, a reminder to us all of the vision that God has for the world and its entire people – a vision of joy and peace. The Extraordinary Missionary Month celebrated by the Church in October 2019 aimed to bring us all to a new awareness of our call through baptism to participate in making God’s vision a reality.

  • The Canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales the Cause
    The Canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales The cause for the canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, which eventually took place on 25 October 1970, had its roots in the mid-19th Century when, following the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales in 1850, Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman and Cardinal Henry Manning, successive Archbishops of Westminster from 1850 until 1892, led a campaign for the recognition of those who had been Martyred for the faith. Just a year previously, in 1849, Frederick William Faber had written the rousing hymn Faith of Our Fathers in memory of the Martyrs. Born and raised an Anglican, Faber converted and was ordained a Priest later becoming an Oratorian Father, the congregation founded by St Philip Neri to which St John Henry Newman also belonged. By 1935 nearly two hundred Reformation Martyrs had been beatified, earning the title ‘Blessed’, but only two, John Fisher and Thomas More, had been canonised; both on 19 May 1935 by Pope Pius XI. Following the end of the Second World War, the cause, which had been largely dormant for some years, was gradually revived and, in December 1960, the names of thirty four English and six Welsh Martyrs were submitted to the Sacred Congregation of Rites by Cardinal William Godfrey, Archbishop of Westminster. All of these had been Martyred between 1535 and 1679. The list of names was drawn up in consultation with the Bishops of England and Wales and an attempt was made to ensure the list reflected a spread of social status and religious rank, together with a geographical spread and the existence of a well-established devotion.

For more information contact [email protected] The English Catholic Issue, 1640-1662: Factionalism, Perceptions and Exploitation. Alexandra Kate Tompkins PhD University of London, 2010. Abstract This thesis explores the responses of different groups within the English Catholic community to the civil war, interregnum and restoration, with close attention to Catholic political theory. The English Catholic community were not mere observers of the constitutional and religious changes made during this period but manoeuvred within shifting political frameworks, continually adjusting their politics to meet new requirements. After the defeat and the execution of Charles I, members of the community made a series of compromises with political parties to secure toleration. Until the Restoration these were almost all to the exclusion of the Stuarts. Catholic political theorists engaged with the pro-sectarian, tolerationist principles of the parliamentary Independents during the first part of the Interregnum, but after the failure of the Cromwellian Church settlement in 1655 began to interact with anti-sectarian pro- episcopal groups during the decline of the Protectorate.
