  • Seven New Saints in Heaven Dear Brothers and Sisters, Greetings to You and Your Loved Ones
    October 21, 2018 Connect - Grow - Give 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor's Message Seven New Saints in Heaven Dear Brothers and Sisters, Greetings to you and your loved ones. Last Sunday, Pope Francis canonized seven holy men and women. The names and brief biographies of each of the new saints were presented to the Holy Father and to the thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, October 14th, 2018 by the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, Cardinal Giovanni Becciu. (The Information below is from the Vatican Website). Saint Óscar Romero (1917-1980): The archbishop of San Salvador, El Salvador, from 1977 until his martyrdom, Archbishop Romero was an outspoken opponent of the political strife and injustice in his country, although he did not support liberation theology. Ordained a priest in 1942, he studied in Rome and served for many years as a parish priest, as auxiliary bishop of San Salvador and as bishop of Santiago de María. He was murdered March 24, 1980, while saying Mass, and his assassins were never brought to justice. He was declared a martyr by Pope Francis in early 2015 and beatified in May 2015 in San Salvador before a crowd of more than 250,000 faithful. Saint Vincenzo Romano (1751-1831): Saint Vincenzo Romano spent almost his entire life as a parish priest in the area around his native Naples, Italy. Ordained a priest in 1775, he spent many years at the Church of Santa Croce in his hometown of Torre del Greco, where he was given the name “The Worker Priest” because of his inexhaustible labors on behalf of his flock, especially the poor.

  • Miracles Attributed to Pope Paul VI, Romero Clear Way for Sainthood
    Miracles attributed to Pope Paul VI, Romero clear way for sainthood VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has cleared the way for the canonizations of Blesseds Paul VI and Oscar Romero. At a meeting March 6 with Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes, Pope Francis signed decrees for the causes of 13 men and women — among them a pope, an archbishop, two young laywomen and a number of priests and nuns. He recognized a miracle attributed to Blessed Paul, who, according Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, will be declared a saint in late October at the end of the Synod of Bishops on youth and discernment. Blessed Paul, who was born Giovanni Battista Montini, was pope from 1963 to 1978. Pope Francis also formally signed the decree recognizing the miracle needed to advance the sainthood cause of Archbishop Romero of San Salvador, martyr. El Salvador’s ambassador to the Holy See, Manuel Roberto Lopez, told Catholic News Service March 7 that the news of the pope’s approval “took us by surprise.” “They told us before that the process was going well and that all we needed was the approval of the miracle, and it turns out the pope approved it yesterday,” he said. Lopez told CNS that he was happy that Blessed Oscar Romero’s canonization was imminent and that his holiness was recognized alongside one of his earliest supporters. “To see that he will be canonized along with (Blessed) Paul VI, who was a great friend of Archbishop Romero and supported his work, is a great blessing,” Lopez said.

    N. 181011e Thursday 11.10.2018 Press Conference in view of the Canonization of Blesseds Paul VI and Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez At 17.00 this afternoon, in the Holy See Press Office, a press conference was held in view of the Canonization of Blesseds Paul VI and Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez, which will take place on Sunday 14 October. The speakers were His Eminence Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, and His Eminence Cardinal Gregorio Rosa Chávez, auxiliary bishop of San Salvador, El Salvador. The following is the intervention by Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu: Intervention of Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu Paul VI will be canonized on 14 October by our Pope Francis. He was the Pope of Vatican Council II. While John XXIII had the prophetic courage to open the great ecumenical assembly, Paul VI had the mission to guide it, to conclude it and to make it enter the life of the Church and of the world. Before his election to the Supreme Pontificate, Monsignor Giovanni Battista Montini had been the principal collaborator of the Venerable Pius XII. He was then very close to John XXIII. After becoming Pope, it was he who created the cardinals who would be his successors: Albino Luciani, Karol Wojtyła and Joseph Ratzinger. Thus the figure and mission of Paul VI must be considered in this historical continuity of the living tradition of the Church. Pope Montini, who died on 6 August 1978, on the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, was a heroic and brilliant witness of Christ the light of the world.
