  • The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul Relics Collection Now on Display
    The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul Relics Collection Now on Display The Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul has recently catalogued its collection of about eighty authenticated relics, as well as numerous others which are not yet authenticated. Authenticated relics are now being displayed in a rotation on the reredos of the two side altars, on niches that were specially designed for this purpose during the Basilica's recent renovation. A directory of relics, with information pages about each saint, is available at each side altar. This directory is also posted on StsPeterAndPaulBasilica.com under “Relics Collection.” A memorial plaque honoring the late John George Jerome Holland III is now on display in the vestibule. A short biography of Mr. Holland, with a photo of him, is included on his memorial display. The Basilica’s Altar Guild has assumed stewardship of the rotation of relics on the side altars. Displayed relics are now identified with cards that indicate the name of the saint. On or near a saint’s feast day, the relic of the saint in our collection may be featured prominently. Parishioners and visitors are encouraged to take time to appreciate these relics that we are privileged to house in our sanctuary, as well as the information about the saints found in the directory, as an opportunity to venerate the mortal remains of saints who now enjoy the blessing of heaven. Special thanks to Therese Ohotnicky, Basilica parishioner, who organized the Basilica's relics collection, compiled the directory, and produced the memorial display honoring Mr. Holland, as part of her American Heritage Girls Stars and Stripes Award.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

  • Blessed Peter Donders
    SACRAMENTARY AND LECTIONARY SUPPLEMENTTHE CONGREGATION OF THE MOST HOLY REDEEMER: BLESSED PETER DONDERS Memorial JANUARY 14 BLESSED PETER DONDERS, PRIEST PETER DONDERS WAS BORN IN TILBURG IN HOLLAND on October 27, 1809. From his youth, he felt himself called to the priesthood, but because of the poverty of his family, his schooling was cut short so he could take up the weaver’s trade of his father. This did not prevent him from teaching catechism to children in his free time. He also had a good influence on young people his age. At the age of twenty-two, with the help of his parish priest, he entered the minor seminary of St. Michael Gestel as a seminarian and part-time worker, thus paying for his room and board. He was ordained a priest on June 5, 1841. He was able to follow his missionary vocation, setting out for Suriname, which was then a Dutch colony. For the next fourteen years, his base of ministry was in the city of Paramaribo where he dedicated himself to some 2,000 resident Catholics and also regularly visited the slaves of the plantations (around 8,000 of them in the 1 /11 SACRAMENTARY AND LECTIONARY SUPPLEMENTTHE CONGREGATION OF THE MOST HOLY REDEEMER: BLESSED PETER DONDERS Paramaribo area of some 40,000 in all of Suriname), as well as the military garrisons and the native Indians and black slaves along the rivers. In 1856, he offered himself as a volunteer for the government leprosarium of Batavia, where he remained, with the exception of a few short intervals, for the next twenty-eight years, caring for the residents bodily and spiritually.
