Sanctoral Cycle

Saint Marcellus I [16 Jan] - Saint Marcellus I defended the rights of the Church with heroic resistance. On this account he was exiled by the heretical Maxentius. He died in 310 AD. St Andrew Corsini [04 Feb] The Annunciation [25 Mar] St Jospeh the Worker [01 May] Ss Philip and James [11 May] Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary [31 May] Vigil of the Nativity of St John the Baptist [23 Jun] Nativity of St John the Baptist [24 Jun] Vigil of Ss Peter and Paul [28 Jun] Ss Peter and Paul [29 Jun] Most Precious Blood of Our Lord [01 Jul] The Visitation [02 Jul] Our Lady of Mount Carmel [16 Jul] - On this day are commemorated the favours granted to the Brothers of our Lady of Mount Carmel, successors to those early Christians who built a chapel in her honour on Mount Carmel. The institution and habit of the Carmelite Order as now known are due to our Lady's instructions first to Saint Simon Stock and later to Pope Honorius III. She promised special protection in life and after death to all who adopted the Tertiary's rule and wore her habit. St James the Greater [25 Jul] St Anne [26 Jul] The Transfiguration [06 Aug] St John Mary Vianney [08 Aug] Vigil of St Lawrence [09 Aug] St Lawrence Vigil of The Assumption [14 Aug] The Assumption [15 Aug] - Mary was cared for by Saint John for twelve years after our Lord's Resurrection. Her life was spent in helping the Apostles and in praying for the conversion of the world. On the third day after Mary's death, when the Apostles gathered around her tomb, they found it empty. The sacred body had been carried up to the celestial paradise. Jesus Himself came to conduct her thither; the whole court of heaven came to welcome with songs of triumph the Mother of the Divine Word. St Joachim [16 Aug] St John Eudes [19 Aug] - Saint John Eudes, born in Normandy, was educated by the Jesuits. Ordained priest, he founded the Congregation of the Priests of Jesus and Mary, called Eudists, and the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity. As preacher, writer, and founder he promoted public devotion to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He died in 1680. Immaculate Heart of Mary [22 Aug] - Mary began her journey along the road to perfection at a height to which other Saints arrived only at the end of a long life of saintliness. In all other children of Adam original sin prevented the divine generosity from having a free course. But Mary was created immaculate, and therefore the grace of God streamed into her soul without check of hindrance. Her sinlessness, her heavenly purity, directed every action, every movement to God. Her Heart was the pattern and model of all virtues, of all purity. Saints Timotheus, Hippolytus, and Sumphorian, although commemorated together, suffered in different persecutions: Timotheus under Maximian, Bishop Hippolytus under Alexander and the youth Symphorian under Aurelian. St Bartholomew [24 Aug] St Louis, King of France [25 Aug] St Pius X [03 Sep] Exaltation of the Holy Cross [14 Sep] Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary [11 Oct] - To commemorate in the liturgy of the fifteenth centenary of the Council of Ephesus (held in 431), which vindicated the title of Theotokos or "Mother of God" for the Blessed Virgin Mary, Pope Pius XI instructed this feast to be observed by the whole Church in the year 1931.
