RMC-Possible-Parish Blessed Carlo Acutis Carlo Acutis was born May 3, 1991, in London, where his parents were working. Just a few months later, his parents, Andrea Acutis and Antonia Salzano, moved to Milan. As a teenager, Carlo was diagnosed with leukemia. He offered his sufferings for Pope Benedict XVI and for the Church, saying “"I offer all the suffering I will have to suffer for the Lord, for the Pope, and the Church.” He died on Oct. 12, 2006 (aged 15), and was buried in Assisi, at his request, because of his love for St. Francis of Assisi. He was designated “Blessed” October 10, 2020. From a young age, Carlo seemed to have a special love for God, even though his parents weren’t especially devout. His mom said that before Carlo, she went to Mass only for her First Communion, her confirmation, and her wedding. But as a young child, Carlo loved to pray the rosary. After he made his First Communion, he went to Mass as often as he could, and he made Holy Hours before or after Mass. He went to confession weekly. He was known for defending kids at school who got picked on, especially disabled kids. And he promoted Eucharistic miracles, especially through a website he built to promote them. On the site, he told people that "the more often we receive the Eucharist, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this earth we will have a foretaste of heaven." When Carlo got sick, his life of faith increased. He was intentional about offering up his suffering for the Church, the pope, and for people who were suffering with illness. - Catholic News agency Born: May 13, 1991— October 12, 2006 Beatification: October 10 Feast Day: TBD Patronage: Youth, Computer Programmers 1 St. Augustine of Hippo Sinner turned saint, born in modern day Algeria. The tears of his mother, the instructions of Ambrose and, most of all, God himself speaking to him in the Scriptures, redirected Augustine’s love of life to a life of love. A man of passion and faith, of the highest intelligence and tireless in his pastoral care, a great Saint and Doctor of the Church is often known, at least by hearsay, even by those who ignore Christianity or who are not familiar with it, because he left a very deep mark on the cultural life of the West and on the whole world. He is an exemplary model to the new Parish, St. Augustine overcame strong heresies, practiced great poverty and supported the poor, preached very often and prayed with great fervor right up until his death - Wikipedia Patronage: Brewers, printers, theologians, sore eyes, Bridgeport, Connecticut, Cagayan de Oro, San Agustin, Isabela, Mendez, Cavite, Tanza, Cavite Feast Day: August 28 Born: 13 November 254 Canonization: 1298, Pope Boniface Patronage: Brewers; printers, theologians, sore eyes, Bridgeport, Connecticut, Cagayan de Oro, San Augustine, Isabela, Mendez, Cavite, Tanza, 2 St Gemma Galgani St. Gemma Galgani, also known as the Flower of Lucca, was an Italian mystic often referred to as the "Daughter of Passion," for her intense replication of the Passion of Christ. She was born on March 12, 1878, in a small Italian town near Lucca. At a very young age, Gemma developed a love for prayer. She made her First Communion on June 17, 1887. Gemma was loved by her teachers and her fellow students, as a student at a school run by the Sisters of St. Zita. Though quiet and reserved, she always had a smile for everyone. Unfortunately, Gemma had to quit school due to her chronic ill health before completing the course of study. Throughout her life, Gemma was to be chosen with many mystical experiences and special graces. These were often misunderstood by others, causing ridicule. Gemma suffered heartaches in reparation, remembering that Our Lord Himself had been misunderstood and ridiculed. Gemma had an immense love for the poor and helped them in any way she could. After her father's death, the 19-year-old Gemma became the mother-figure for her seven brothers and sisters. When some of her siblings became old enough to share the responsibility, Gemma went to live briefly with a married aunt. At this time, two young men proposed marriage to her. However, Gemma refused because she wanted silence, retirement, and more than ever, she desired to pray and speak only to God. Gemma returned home and almost immediately became very ill with meningitis. Throughout this illness, her one regret was the trouble she caused her relatives who took care of her. Feeling herself tempted by the devil, Gemma prayed for help to the Venerable Passionist, Gabriel Possenti. Through his intercession, Gemma was miraculously cured. Gemma wished to become a nun, but her poor health prevented her from being accepted. She offered this disappointment to God as a sacrifice. Know to have the Stigmatta. Gemma predicted that the Passionists would establish a monastery at Lucca; this came to pass two years after her death. Today, Gemma's relics remain at the Passionist monastery in Lucca. – Catholic.org Rationale: Saint of Strength.. and by combining our parishes there is strength in numbers Born: 12 March 1878 Feast Day: 11 April Canonization: May 2, 1940 by Pope Pius XII Patronage: Students, Pharmacists, against temptations, against the death of parents, against tuberculosis 3 St. Gianna Molla In less than 40 years, Gianna Beretta Molla became a pediatric physician, a wife, a mother and a saint! She was born in Magenta near Milano, the tenth of Alberto and Maria Beretta’s 13 children. An active member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and a leader in the Catholic Action movement, Gianna also enjoyed skiing and mountain climbing. She earned degrees in medicine and surgery from the University of Pavia, eventually specializing in pediatrics. In 1952, Gianna opened a clinic in the small town of Mesero, where she met engineer Pietro Molla. Shortly before their 1955 marriage, Gianna wrote to Pietro: “Love is the most beautiful sentiment that the Lord has put into the soul of men and women.” In the next four years the Mollas had three children: Pierluigi, Mariolina, and Laura. Two pregnancies following ended in miscarriage. Early in her fourth pregnancy, doctors discovered that Gianna had both a child and a tumor in her uterus. She allowed the surgeons to remove the tumor but not to perform the complete hysterectomy that they recommended, which would have killed the child. Seven months later in April 1962, Gianna Emanuela Molla was born at the hospital in Monza, but post-operative complications resulted in an infection for her mother. The following week Gianna Molla died at home, and was buried in the cemetery of Mesero. Gianna Emanuela went on to become a physician herself. Gianna Beretta Molla was beatified in 1994 and canonized 10 years later. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on April 28. – Franciscan Media Born: 14 October 1922 Feast Day: 28 April Canonization: 16 May 2004, Saint Peter's Square, Saint Pope John Paul II Patronage: Doctors, Magenta, Mothers, Physicians, Wives, Families, Unborn children, World Meeting of Families 2015 (co-patron) 4 St. Hildegard of Bingen Professed nun of the Order of Saint Benedict, a Doctor of the Universal Church. St. Hildegard, also called Hildegard of Bingen or Hildegard von Bingen, byname Sibyl of the Rhine, (born 1098, Böckelheim, West Franconia [Germany]—died September 17, 1179, Rupertsberg, near Bingen; canonized May 10, 2012; feast day September 17), German abbess, visionary mystic, and composer. She has a devoted and broad following, even today. She was composer and musician, which ties to our strong music programs. Her German heritage is a nod to the history of the greater Lincoln Square neighborhood. A renaissance woman of sorts, writing plays and theological texts, she went on speaking tours and even advised popes and emperors - and despite being born almost 1000 years ago, you can still buy her books and music. - Wikipedia Born: 1098 Feast Day: 17 September Canonization: 10 May 2012, Pope Benedict XVI Patronage: Musicians and writers 5 St. Jason of Thessalonica While on his second missionary journey, St. Paul stayed at Salonika, in the house of one, Jason. In consequence of Paul's successful preaching, the Jews, "moved with envy and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason's house, sought to bring them out unto the people. And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, 'They that set the city in an uproar are come hither also, whom Jason hath received. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.' And they stirred up the people and the rulers of the city, hearing these things. And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go". This is probably the Jason referred to with Lucius and Sosipater as the kinsmen of St. Paul in his letter to the Romans, and in the Greek legend he is represented as bishop of Tarsus in Silicia, going with St. Sosipater, bishop of Iconium, to Corfu, evangelizing that Island, and dying there. After preaching successfully for some time, the two missionaries were thrown into prison, where they converted seven thieves who afterward achieved martyrdom. The Syrians, however, venerate Jason as the apostle of the district round Apanea and as a martyr who was thrown to the beasts. The Roman Martyrology wrongly identifies him with the Mnason of Acts xxi 16, "an old disciple" with whom St.

All of our resources are entrusted to us not only for our own use, but also so that we can help others.

  • Saint Gianna Beretta Molla
    Saint Gianna Beretta Molla Another Italian that we can look up to is St Gianna Beretta Molla. She was born in the 1920’s. She went to school and studied to be a medical doctor and a surgeon. She joined the Saint Vincent de Paul Society when she was in university. She focused on helping mothers, babies, the elderly and the poor. She married in 1955 and gave birth to 4 children in the mid 1950’s. During her last pregnancy it was discovered that she had a tumor in her uterus. One of the options was to have the tumor removed. The doctors however advised that it would be best to abort the child. She decided to have the tumor removed. This was the only option to save the unborn child, but the risk of pregnancy related complications was high. When she went into labour, it was found she needed to deliver her child by caesarean section. She gave birth to a baby girl. Later Gianna developed peritonitis, an infection from the surgery and died 7 days after the child was born. Gianna never considered the possibility of aborting her child. She also repeatedly made it clear that if only one life could be saved, it should be the baby’s life. You could say she was a contemporary and ordinary woman. She liked fashionable clothes and valued education. She enjoyed the arts. Her husband said that Gianna’s life “was a nonstop search for the will of God for every decision and for every work, with prayer and meditation, Holy Mass, and the Eucharist.

  • St. Gianna Beretta Molla Heroic Mother and Doctor the Canonization of Saint Gianna Is the first of Its Kind
    St. Gianna Beretta Molla Heroic mother and doctor The canonization of Saint Gianna is the first of its kind. Many mothers have been beatified for their heroic virtues, but they entered religious life after becoming widowed. In St. Gianna’s case, the very condition of her being a spouse and mother is exalted and highlighted. St. Gianna is the first canonized woman physician: a professional who was also a “working mom”. Gianna, born on October 4, 1922, was the tenth of thirteen children born to Maria and Albert Beretta (five of whom died at an early age). They made sure that each of their children studied a profession, so that they would serve the community and be living examples of Christian life: • Two, including Gianna, became doctors • One was a civil engineer • Two became priests and one a Sister • Two were missionaries, one to Brazil and one to India Her parents considered the education of their children, the molding of their souls, as a divine undertaking. Gianna had just graduated from high school and considered becoming a medical missionary in Brazil when her parents died. While waiting for her missionary calling, she began studying medicine in Milan. It was often impossible to attend classes because of the constant wartime bombing. Everything was in a state of confusion, but Gianna endured the tragedy of war with her deep faith in God. If she could not perform heroic deeds as the soldiers did, she would strive to do whatever task was set before her as well as she could. When weary, she went to church.
