We celebrate Mary, who humbly and gladly accepted God’s will when she said “Yes” to our Lord. As Twitter @dunstandolphins we honour Mary and all mothers, we are reminded of the many blessing mothers bestow upon their children each and every day. Let us keep Mary and all mothers in our thoughts and prayers so that the honour and respect they deserve is not limited to one day or month in the year. We begin the month of May with Catholic Education Week, which is recognized throughout Ontario during the week of April 30 - May 5. During this week, the Catholic community celebrates the unique and distinctive contribution that Catholic schools make to our students, our community and our province. Catholic Education Week is a welcome opportunity to celebrate the mission of our Catholic schools as they strive to integrate the Gospel values of Jesus Christ in every aspect of the school’s life and curriculum. This year’s theme is: “Walking Forward Together.” From Your Catholic School Trustee Luz Del Rosario Catholic Education Week April 30th to May 5th is Catholic Education Week in Ontario. This week is set aside to celebrate the gift of publicly funded Catholic schools in our province. Publicly funded Catholic education has existed in this province since 1841 and its graduates have served Ontario and Canada very well. And I hope that this will continue. The 2017 CEW theme and its five sub themes are drawn from three contemporary Catholic documents that address the need for reconciliation and renewal – in our lives, with our families, in our relationships with others and in our relationship with our environment and our common global future. Our Catholic schools are faith based schools, firmly birthed in the Gospel Values of Jesus Christ. This permeates throughout all of the curriculum and the activities that take place in a Catholic school. From 1841 church leaders and Catholic trustees doggedly sustained a fight for the right of Catholics to attend their own publicly funded Catholic schools. We enjoy this right today because of the sacrifice and determination of people who built Catholic education despite opposition and discrimination both political and legal. The challenges to the existence of publicly funded Catholic education are alive today. In an increasing secular Ontario, there are those who see publicly funded Catholic education as anachronistic and discriminatory. But, Catholic education has and continues to contribute significantly to Ontario and to Canada in the contributions of all of our wonderful graduates of our Catholic system. We must stay awake. We must not take anything for granted. We must know the facts. We are proud that our children are graduates of Catholic schools. I am proud to be a Catholic school trustee. I am proud to be a part of the Dufferin-Peel school system. I encourage you to visit your local Catholic schools. Check websites to find out about activities taking place during this special week. The theme of this Catholic Education Week is “Walking Forward Together.” “Loving God, we pray that we might have the strength to walk in the footsteps of your Son when our world is calling us to walk a different path. As a community of faith in Dufferin-Peel may we support one another in the knowledge that this path, alone, leads to true happiness and freedom. We make this prayer through Jesus our friend and brother. Amen.” We thank God for Catholic Education. We ask for your constant support and ask the good Lord to bless you and your family always.

  • St Cuthbert Story
    Cuthbert was born about the year 634 (about 1400 years ago!) He lived in Melrose in Southern Scotland. He liked to walk in the hills. One night, when he was helping to look after sheep he thought he saw angels taking a soul to heaven. A few days later he found out Saint Aidan had died. Cuthbert decided to become a monk. He became a monk at the monastery in Melrose where he met Boisil, the prior of the monastery. Boisil taught Cuthbert for 6 years. Before Boisil died, he told Cuthbert he would be a Bishop one day. Cuthbert liked to visit lonely farms and villages. Crowds of people came to visit him. He lived at Melrose monastery for 13 years. Cuthbert was sent to be Prior of Lindisfarne. Cuthbert taught the monks the new Roman church rules. Some of the monks did not like the new rules and Cuthbert had to be very patient with them. After 12 years, Cuthbert went to live on a quiet island 7 miles away from Lindisfarne. Cuthbert lived on this small island for 3 years. He grew barley and vegetables and his monks dug a well and built a guest house for visitors. The King asked Cuthbert to be Bishop of Hexham. Cuthbert didn’t want to but he still remembered what Boisil had said. Cuthbert did not want to be Bishop of Hexham but agreed to be Bishop of Lindisfarne instead. He was very sad to have to leave his small island. Cuthbert was Bishop of Lindisfarne for 2 years. The people loved him.

  • The Venerable Bede a Celebration
    The Venerable Bede A Celebration Monday 25 May 2020 5.15 p.m. The Venerable Bede Bede served in the monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow for all his life, and died in Jarrow in 735 aged about 62. In 1020, his body was brought to Durham to be placed with the body of St Cuthbert. Bede’s body was brought to its final resting place in the Galilee Chapel in 1370. Introit Christ is the Morning Star Christ is the Morning Star who when the night of this world is past brings to his saints the promise of the light of life and opens everlasting day. Alleluia. The Venerable Bede Richard Lloyd The Dean welcomes the people Hymn We sing to God in praise of Bede (tune NEH 431) We sing to God in praise of Bede, The prince of scholars in his age, Christ’s servant, lover of God’s word, Once monk of Jarrow, priest and sage. For his example we give thanks, His zeal to learn, his skill to write; Like him we long to know God’s ways And in God’s word drink with delight. Grant us, good Lord, one day to come To you, all wisdom’s fountainhead, With Bede to stand before your face, Our Saviour, living from the dead. Teach us, O Lord, like Bede to pray, To make the word of God our joy, Exult in music, song and art, In worship all your gifts employ. O Christ, our glorious Morning Star, Come with the passing of the night, Bring to your saints th’eternal day, The promise of your life and light.

Young Flagler College This paper describes the use of the cult of Saint Cuthbert in the High Middle Ages by both the bishops of Durham and the Benedictine community that was tied to the Episcopal see. Its central contention is that the churchmen of Durham adapted this popular cult to the political expediencies of the time. In the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, when Bishop William de St. Calais ousted the entrenched remnants of the Lindisfarne community and replaced them with Benedictines, Cuthbert was primarily a monastic saint and not, as he would become, a popular pilgrimage saint. However, once the Benedictine community was firmly entrenched in Durham, the bishops, most prominently Hugh de Puiset, sought to create a saint who would appeal to a wide audience of pilgrims, including the women who had been excluded from direct worship in the earlier, Benedictine version of the saint.

    St Cuthbert Part 1 Saint Cuthbert (634-687) Generally Cuthbert (c. 634 – 20 March 687) is a saint of the early Northumbrian church in the Celtic tradition. He was a monk, bishop and hermit, associated with the monasteries of Melrose and Lindisfarne in what might loosely be termed the Kingdom of Northumbria. After his death he became one of the most important medieval saints of Northern England, with a cult centred on his tomb at Durham Cathedral. Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of Northern England. His feast day is 20 March (Catholic Church and Church of England), Stained glass depicting St Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, from Gloucester Cathedral History of the St Cuthbert era Lots of small areas ruled by Kings.

    THE STORY OF AN ENGLISH SAINT’S CULT: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ST ÆTHELTHRYTH OF ELY, c.670 – c.1540 by IAN DAVID STYLER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis charts the history of the cult of St Æthelthryth of Ely, arguing that its longevity and geographical extent were determined by the malleability of her character, as narrated within the hagiographical texts of her life, and the continued promotion of her shrine by parties interested in utilising her saintly power to achieve their goals. Arranged chronologically and divided into five distinct periods, the thesis demonstrates that this symbiotic relationship was key in maintaining and elongating the life of the cult. Employing digital humanities tools to analyse textual, archaeological, material, cartographic, and documentary sources covering the cult’s eight-hundred-year history, the study charts its development firstly within East Anglia, and subsequently across the whole country, and internationally.

  • St. Patrick's Day Around the World
    St. Patrick’s Day Around The World Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. This means he is the protector and guardian of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on 17th of March, which is the day that Saint Patrick died. It is traditionally an Irish holiday and festival, but it is now celebrated around the world. The shamrock is the symbol of Ireland and Saint Patrick’s Day. Its name comes from the Irish word ‘shamróg’, which refers to the three leaves on the plant. Saint Patrick used the three leaves of the shamrock to explain the Christian Trinity (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit). Who Was Saint Patrick? Saint Patrick was born in Wales in 385 AD. His grandfather was a priest and his father was a deacon in the Christian church. When he was only 16, he was kidnapped by pirates. He was sold as a slave in Ireland and spent six years working as a shepherd. His Christian faith became very important to him. When he escaped to Western Europe, he became a deacon for the church. Several years later, he was ordained as a priest and later, a bishop. Eventually, he went back to Ireland to teach people about Christianity. He helped to change Ireland from a pagan to a Christian country. St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland and is celebrated across the country. It is a Christian festival, similar to Christmas and Easter. Most Irish people begin the day by going to church.

  • ABSTRACT Whitby, Wilfrid, and Church-State Antagonism in Early
    ABSTRACT Whitby, Wilfrid, and Church-State Antagonism in Early Medieval Britain Vance E. Woods, M.A. Mentor: Charles A. McDaniel, Ph.D. In 664, adherents of the Dionysian and Celtic-84 Easter tables gathered at the Northumbrian abbey of Whitby to debate the proper calculation of Easter. The decision to adopt the former, with its connections to the papacy, has led many to frame this encounter in terms of Roman religious imperialism and to posit a break between the ecclesiastical culture of Northumbria prior to the Synod of Whitby and afterward. This study will propose a different interpretation of the change that took place in the Northumbrian Church after 664. Rather than focusing solely on matters of religion, this project will seek also to demonstrate Whitby’s political implications. Instead of the end of alienation between the Celtic Church and the balance of Christendom, the Synod of Whitby will be identified, in the person of its main protagonist Wilfrid, as the beginning of alienation between the Northumbrian state and the hierarchy of the Church.

  • Shared Sanctity to Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and English Audiences
    _full_alt_author_running_head (neem stramien B2 voor dit chapter en nul 0 in hierna): 0 _full_articletitle_deel (kopregel rechts, vul hierna in): The Hermitic Topos _full_article_language: en indien anders: engelse articletitle: 0 The Hermitic Topos 117 Chapter 4 The Hermitic Topos: “Selling” Shared Sanctity to Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and English Audiences Maren Clegg Hyer Traditions of hermitic sanctity from early Christian writers onwards lent a powerful “cachet” to any saints and associated foundations to which they might be applied. Such traditions and associations help to explain surprisingly similar arguments and rhetorical strategies shared by both the infamous inter- polators of William of Malmesbury’s De antiquitate Glastonie ecclesie and Ord- eric Vitalis in his remarks on the history of Croyland Abbey. The Glastonbury interpolators are infamous for adding New Testament and Arthurian connec- tions to the foundation history written for them by William of Malmesbury, but they also inserted lengthy additions claiming special sanctity for Glaston- bury as a space transformed by the repeated colonization of hermitic saints. Likewise, in his Ecclesiastical History, Orderic couches a defense of Anglo-Sax- on and later English national and ecclesiastical tradition in the context of scriptural and canonical law, but he also reclaims the sanctity of that ecclesias- tical tradition at Croyland Abbey through the person of an overtly hermitic saint, St Guthlac. In both instances, the interpolators and/or authors address both post-Conquest Anglo-Saxon (or English) and Norman sensibilities, at- tempting to unify and justify the native English ecclesiastical tradition along- side Norman traditions and challenges in shared terms both audiences might respect.
