  • Our Parish Grouping
    St. Winifred was born in North Wales in the early seventh century and was of noble lineage, a descendant of early Welsh kings. Her mother’s brother was an abbot, St. Beuno, Abbot. From an early age, Winifred was instructed in the spiritual life by her uncle, and her sole desire was to dedicate herself to God and become a nun. She lived under St. Beuno’s care, near a chapel he had built in her native town of Abeluyc. The feastday of St. Winifred, virgin and martyr, is November 3. Saint Winifred Mission Statement OurWe the parishioners Parish of Saint Winifred are a communityGrouping that strives to give witness to Jesus Christ and embody His presence in the daily lives of those with whom we live. WeSaint live our faith withWinifred others through full participation in prayer rooted in the Sacred Liturgy of the Universal Roman Catholic Church. Prayer to Saint Winifred O Blessed and Holy St. Winifred, intercede for me before the Throne of God. Ease my troubles and cure my bodily illnesses. Give me the inspiration and courage to overcome rejections and hardships in my daily life. Amen. Saint Anne is the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and therefore grandmother of Our Lord. Not only is she significant in her relationship to Our Savior, but is commended as a saint in her own right for having raised her daughter Mary as a devout and holy Jew. The feastday of Saints Anne and Joachim, her husband, is July 26. Saint Anne Mission Statement Saint Anne Parish is an inviting and welcoming Catholic community where together we seek to proclaim and live the Gospel by loving and serving as Jesus teaches us to do.

  • The Enactment of Religious Conversion in Medieval and Early Modern European Saint Plays
    Transformed Within, Transformed Without: The Enactment of Religious Conversion in Medieval and Early Modern European Saint Plays Emily Ciavarella Kuntz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Emily Ciavarella Kuntz All Rights Reserved Abstract Transformed Within, Transformed Without: The Enactment of Religious Conversion in Medieval and Early Modern European Saint Plays Emily Ciavarella Kuntz My dissertation investigates the ways in which both medieval and early modern saint plays depict and incite religious conversion through self-aware theatrical techniques. In each of my chapters, I examine one or two popular saint plays from a given period and area (medieval England, medieval France, early modern Spain, and early modern England) and show how each play invites the audience to undergo a spiritual shift parallel to that of the saint protagonist. These playmakers harnessed the affective power and technology of theatrical performance to invite the audience to engage with performed religious conversion in a controlled, celebratory environment and to encourage them to convert toward a more deeply felt Christianity. The plays reconfigured the audience’s sensory and intellectual understanding of Christian theology in order for the audience to recognize spiritual truth within an inherently communal, participatory, and performative space. The plays I examine depend on the audience’s familiarity with theatrical culture and practice in order to distinguish between sincere and insincere religious performance. By making the process of conversion a theatrical performance onstage, these plays could advocate for the theatrical medium as a genuine and effective catalyst for spiritual renewal.

  • Sacred Places Europe: 108 Destinations
    Reviews from Sacred Places Around the World “… the ruins, mountains, sanctuaries, lost cities, and pilgrimage routes held sacred around the world.” (Book Passage 1/2000) “For each site, Brad Olsen provides historical background, a description of the site and its special features, and directions for getting there.” (Theology Digest Summer, 2000) “(Readers) will thrill to the wonderful history and the vibrations of the world’s sacred healing places.” (East & West 2/2000) “Sites that emanate the energy of sacred spots.” (The Sunday Times 1/2000) “Sacred sites (to) the ruins, sanctuaries, mountains, lost cities, temples, and pilgrimage routes of ancient civilizations.” (San Francisco Chronicle 1/2000) “Many sacred places are now bustling tourist and pilgrimage desti- nations. But no crowd or souvenir shop can stand in the way of a traveler with great intentions and zero expectations.” (Spirituality & Health Summer, 2000) “Unleash your imagination by going on a mystical journey. Brad Olsen gives his take on some of the most amazing and unexplained spots on the globe — including the underwater ruins of Bimini, which seems to point the way to the Lost City of Atlantis. You can choose to take an armchair pilgrimage (the book is a fascinating read) or follow his tips on how to travel to these powerful sites yourself.” (Mode 7/2000) “Should you be inspired to make a pilgrimage of your own, you might want to pick up a copy of Brad Olsen’s guide to the world’s sacred places. Olsen’s marvelous drawings and mysterious maps enhance a package that is as bizarre as it is wonderfully acces- sible.

  • Martyrology 12 09 19
    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

  • SHAKESPEARE, the WELSH, and the EARLY MODERN ENGLISH THEATER, 1590-1615 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfi
    STAGING CAMBRIA: SHAKESPEARE, THE WELSH, AND THE EARLY MODERN ENGLISH THEATER, 1590-1615 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Marisa R. Cull, M.A. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Richard Dutton, Advisor ______________________________ Professor Christopher Highley Advisor English Graduate Program Professor Luke Wilson ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on theatrical representation of Wales and the Welsh at a particularly pressured moment in the development of the English nation. In these twenty- five years, England strengthened its armed forces to fight wars both foreign and domestic, expanded its empire and moved toward a “British” state, and continued adapting to the changes of the Reformation. This dissertation argues that the frequent and varied representation of Wales and the Welsh on the late Tudor and early Stuart stage reveals the extent to which the English understood their national history and identity in relation to their western neighbors. Although Wales has been overshadowed by Ireland and Scotland in studies of early modern English nationalism, its impact on the formation of English national identity should not be underestimated. As the descendants of the heroic ancient Britons (including King Arthur), the Welsh had an enviable narrative of military prowess that the English often co-opted for themselves; moreover, the English annexation of Wales—culminating in the 1536 Act of Union—provided a hopeful precedent for how England might incorporate its most resistant Celtic neighbor, Ireland, and later, for how England might expand into a British empire.

  • Female Celtic Saints

They lived in a period of immense change as paganism gave way to Christianity, and were significant in the conversion of the Celtic population. There are numerous churches, monasteries, poems and stories dedicated to these saints. The saints were involved in widespread cults, with famous men and women leaving their marks on society. Although the female saints such as Brigid, Winifred and Tryphine lived remarkable lives, a question arises whether they actually existed or were superimposed over older pagan myths. Whatever the case, these women and what they represented were able to cross more than just gender boundaries, extending their cults through cross-cultural connections that were a part of the European wide hagiographic idiom. Despite the fact that the Celtic world was segregated geographically, the topoi and hagiography developed within an overall European context. Saints Brigid, Winifred and Tryphine are useful models for a study of female Celtic saints. The Celtic world helped to introduce hagiography, the study of the lives of saints.

  • Saint David the Patron Saint of Wales
    Saint David the Patron Saint of Wales (500 AD?? – 589 AD) No historical account of Saint David was written when he was alive or indeed shortly after his death. This is because biographies of the saints were usually written some 500-600 years after they died. Therefore much of what was written about each saint was meant to depict that person in as positive a light as possible. This means that any attempt to write an accurate version of the life of Saint David is fraught with the certain difficulties and obstacles. The medieval churchmen who were the “Writers of saints lives” or hagiographers as they are known, always wrote very positive and praiseworthy accounts. In many ways the authors therefore acted more like modern-day political spin doctors than as professional historians or biographers. The accounts that have been handed down to us were usually written to establish and promote a saint’s holy reputation and in so doing raise the status of the monastery, church or shrine that these individuals were associated with. Whilst some of the stories about Saint David are based on oral tradition handed down from generation to generation they are also a reflection of the political and religious tensions that were affecting Wales in the late 11th century AD. This was caused by the Norman invasions of Wales from around 1068AD onwards. This foreign political influence increased the desire of Welsh Church leaders to promote and defend the independence of their institution. Welsh Churchmen sought to oppose Canterbury’s influence over them through enhancing the claims of Saint David’s as the seat of the original archbishop of Wales.
