  • Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, Priest Memorial
    5 October Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, Priest Memorial rancis Xavier Seelos was born in FÜssen, Bavaria, on January 11, 1819. He studied philosophy Fat the University of Munich and began theology as a seminarian for the diocesan clergy. After visiting the Redemptorists in Altötting, where he heard of their missionary work in North America, he decided to join them. With their approval, he set off for the United States in 1843 where he made his novitiate. He made his profession in Baltimore in May 1844 and was ordained priest there in December. His first assignment was to St. Philomena’s in Pittsburgh where he served for six years as assistant pastor with (Saint) John Neumann as pastor and superior of the community. He then served as superior of the community for three more years. During this time he was also the novice master. In 1854, he was appointed pastor of St. Alphonsus in Baltimore, and in 1857 pastor of Ss. Peter and Paul in Cumberland as well as prefect of students there and in 1862 in Annapolis, Mary- land. Replaced as prefect of students, he preached missions in German and English throughout the Northeast and Midwest United States. Father Seelos was always an active and highly successful missioner — particularly devoted to the confessional — and was revered as an exceptional confessor and spiritual director. After a year as assistant pastor in St. Mary’s in Detroit, in 1866 he was assigned to the parish of the Assumption in New Orleans, Louisiana as pastor. There he made a great effort to care for the poor, sick, and neglected.

  • A Mass in Celebration of the Beatification of Fr. Michael
    A Mass in Celebration of the Beatification of Fr. Michael McGivney, Diocesan Priest and Founder of the Knights of Columbus Saturday of the 30th Week of Ordinary Time Homily of Bishop John O. Barres Diocese of Rockville Centre St. Mary’s Church, New Haven, CT October 31, 2020 Holy priests have shaped the history of the United States. Their heroism, evangelizing zeal, and pastoral charity are woven into our nation’s story. Looking to those priest Saints and Blesseds who labored in this part of God’s vineyard that is the land of the free and the home of the brave, we see a wide and beautiful American kaleidoscope of “holiness and mission” in the Catholic priesthood. Think of the New York Jesuit martyrs: Saints Isaac Jogues (1607-1646), Rene Goupil (1608-1642), and Jean de Lalande (d. 1646). Recall the Redemptorist Saint John Neumann (1811-1860), the Bishop of Philadelphia, and his confrere, Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos (1819-1867). See the missionary hearts of Saint Juniper Serra (1713-1784) in California and Saint Damien of Molokai (1840-1889) in Hawaii. Call to mind the Capuchin Blessed Solanus Casey (1870-1957), a mystical porter who opened the Doors of Christ to so many souls. 2 Think, too, of Blessed Stanley Rother (1935-1981), a parish priest-missionary from Oklahoma who died as a parish priest-martyr in Guatemala. Spanning centuries, their priestly holiness has animated the life of the Church and contributed to our growth as one nation under God. -- Thanks be to God, today, October 31, 2020, this illustrious list of priest Saints and Blesseds has been increased with the Beatification of Father Michael J.

But the glory of the Resurrection came only after the sufferings of the Passion.
