Come by and see us. SQPN Saint Agatha of Sicily Memorial 5 February Profile We have little reliable information about this martyr, who has been honoured since ancient times, and whose name is included in the canon of the Mass. Young, beautiful and rich, Agatha lived a life consecrated to God. When Decius announced the edicts against Christians, the magistrate Quinctianus tried to profit by Agatha's sanctity; he planned to blackmail her into sex in exchange for not charging her. Handed over to a brothel, she refused to accept customers. After rejecting Quinctianus's advances, she was beaten, imprisoned, tortured, her breasts were crushed and cut off. She told the judge, "Cruel man, have you forgotten your mother and the breast that nourished you, that you dare to mutilate me this way?" One version has it that Saint Peter healed her.

She noted Bishop Robert F. Vasa has been in the area, helping out with local parishes. As recovery efforts solidify, there will be a need for vol- unteers who can give of their time to cleanup efforts or who can donate household items, Holmes observed. The next few days and even weeks of recovery will be precarious, especially because of possible aftershocks expected from the quake, she explained. So far, however, the response in the community has been positive. “I know a lot of people have kind of rallied together to help out.” Donations to the diocese can be made at www.osvon- linegiving.com/756/DirectDonate/31899 or mailed to Diocese of Santa Rosa, PO Box 1297, Santa Rosa, CA 95402.
