St. Richard Pampuri Catholic.net Born August 2, 1897 at Trivolzio, Pavia, Italy as Erminio Filippo Pampuri and died in May 1st, in the year of 1930 in Milanm Italy of pleurisy, tuberculosis and pneumonia. Tenth of the eleven children born to Innocenzo and Angela Pampuri. His mother died of tuberculosis when Erminio was three, and he was raised by his maternal grandparents and an aunt. His father died in a traffic accident when Erminio was ten. Though he wanted to become a missionary priest, one of the great influences on the boy was his uncle Carlo, a village doctor. When Erminio’s health proved to be too weak for the rigors of missionary work, he studied medicine at Pavia University. Franciscan tertiary, member of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, and involved in Catholic Action, he attended Mass daily while in school. Drafted into the Italian army medical corps in World War I in 1917, Erminio was a sergeant; he spent his duty in field hospitals, sickened by the misery of war. He resumed his studies in 1920, and graduated at the top of his medical school class on 6 July 1921. Rural health officer in Morimondo in the Po Vally, a poor area near Milan, Italy. Secretary for his parish missionary society; he organized retreats for local laymen, and worked area youth. He treated the poor for free, coordinated charity drives for them, and founded the Band of Pius X, a group dedicated to medical care for the poor. Feeling a call to religious life, Erminio joined the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God on 22 June 1927, taking the name Riccardo, and making his formal profession on 24 October 1928. He ran a free dental clinic for the Order in Brescia, treating those in need, and giving them money and food in the bargain if they needed it. página 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

TO THE WHOLE ORDER “Blessed are Those Who Bring Good News.” (Isaiah: 7-10) Rome, 18 October 2009 ref: PG107/2009 My dear brothers and sisters in hospitality, Preamble On this occasion I would like to share with you some thoughts on two themes that are both relevant and topical at this time, at least in the Church and the Order. The first is that of missions (Ad Gentes – to the people) from the perspective of the Order or Family of St. John of God. The second topic is connected to the first, in terms of fidelity to his hospitaller calling, by Br. Eustace Kugler under extraordinarily difficult circumstances. Mission Ad Gentes As you know every year, in October, the Church celebrates and promotes missionary work. Those of us who make up the Family of St John of God see this as an opportunity to reflect on this matter, and above all on the great missionary drive that has characterised our Order, particularly since the Second Vatican Council, as the fruit of the Charism of Hospitality that we have received from our Divine Lord. The specific imperative which we have been given by the vow of Hospitality is not to provide care merely for the sick and needy people around us, but also to reach out to look for those in need, even in distant lands, and at all times according to the spirit of St John of God. For Hospitality, borders do not exist. Following the death of our Founder, the Brothers went out to Latin America, Africa, Asia as well as across Europe.

Over the past several months I have met with parish leaders in each of our nine vicariates to receive input on the renewal of our diocesan pasto- ral plan. I am grateful to all who shared their insights so that we can be good stewards of the resources of time, talent, and treasure that the Lord has entrusted to us for his mission. I am particularly grateful to James Walsh, Director of Pastoral Planning, for his great work on the develop- ment of this pastoral plan. Those who are familiar with our last pastoral plan “The Roadmap for Our Mission” will notice similarities between this current plan and the “Roadmap.” While the priorities may be similar, I want this pastoral plan to help us all direct our attention outward, and not simply to focus on the internal structures and programs of our diocese and parishes. This is in keeping with the mandate of Jesus himself: “Go, therefore, and make dis- ciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have com- manded you.

The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

1 CONFIRMATION CLASS SAINTS PRESENTATION ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CATHOLIC CHURCH, BOWIE MARYLAND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CONFIRMATION CLASS OF 2020 – 2021 3.21.21 2 SAINT RICHARD PAMPURI – CHOSEN BY ADONIS RODRIGUEZ • Erminio Filippo Pampuri was from Trivolzio, Pavia, Italy and lived from 1897 - 1980. Both of his parents died when he was young. He was raised by his grandparents and had ten other siblings. He looked up to his uncle, who was a village doctor. This led St. Pampuri to study medicine. He was a Sergeant during World War I, working in a field hospital. • I chose St. Richard Pampuri because of his work helping those less fortunate. He held charity drives for the poor and offered free dental care. He was selfless, smart, strong, This Photo by Unknown Author is respectful, and overcame many obstacles, despite having a “weak” body. I want to be licensed under CC BY-NC-ND like him by helping others, looking at the positive aspects of life, and overcoming any obstacles I may face. 3 SAINT SEBASTIAN - CHOSEN BY ALEC EHRENFRIED • Saint Sebastian was from Arbonne France and lived from 256 to 288. He joined the Roman army so that he could do acts of love and charity in secret. Eventually Saint Sebastian was discovered, tied to a tree, shot with arrows, then beaten to death with clubs. He is known as the patron saint of athletes due to his endurance. I chose him to be my Confirmation saint because I play soccer and basketball. • I admire his unwavering commitment to God and his endurance.
