  • Saintly Summer Trivia
    Saintly summer trivia Sainthood. Each of us is called to it, but it’s not so simple to achieve. Thankfully, we have the example of thousands of men and women throughout history who the Church has declared to be in heaven with Our Lord. What better way to be inspired to live holy lives of virtue than to learn more about saints with the goal of modeling our lives after them? And because it’s summer, we’ve provided a fun, family-friendly way to do just that. Test your knowledge of the saints — and maybe learn a thing or two — in the following quiz. The categories give context clues, and if you need it, an answer key is at the end. Good luck, and have fun! Michael R.

  • Franciscan Sacramentary Supplement
    1 FRANCISCAN PROPER OF THE SAINTS July 4 1. The rank of the celebration (solemnity, feast or memorial) is indicated for each day. If there is no indication, it is an optional memorial. 2. For each solemnity and feast a proper Mass is provided in its entirety. This is therefore used as given. 3. For memorials: a) Proper texts, given on some days, must always be used; b) When there is a reference to a particular common, the most appropriate texts should be chosen according to the principles at the beginning of the commons. The page reference in each case indicates only the beginning of the common to which reference is made. c) If the rederence is to more than one common, one or the other may be used, according to pastoral need. It is always permissible to interchange texts from several Masses within the same common. For example, if a saint is both a martyr and a bishop, either the common of martyrs or the common of pastor (bishops) may be used. d) In addition to the commons which express a special characteristic holiness (e.g., of martyrs, virgins, or pastors), the texts from the common of saints, referring to holiness in general may always be used. For example, in the case of a saint who is both a virgin and a martyr, texts from the common of saints in general may be used, in addition to texts from the common of martyrs or the common of virgins. e) The prayers over the gifts and after communion, unless there are proper prayers, may be taken either from the common or from the current liturgical season.

    CAPDOX Capuchin Franciscan Friars Australia B L E S S E D S O L A N U S CA S E Y 1870-1957 IRISH ROOTS Fr. Solanus Casey was born Bernard Francis Casey on Nov. 25, 1870 on a farm near Oak Grove, Wisconsin along the Mississippi River. He was the sixth child in a family of ten boys and six girls born to Irish immigrant parents who left Ireland after the famine years, the scourge of the Emerald Isle. Father: Bernard James Casey was born in 1840 at Castleblaney, County Monaghan. After his father’s death, at the age of 17, he left home with a younger sister. His mother’s last words to him were, “Barney boy, keep the faith.” They sailed from Liverpool on the SS Curling and arrived in Boston on July 29, 1857 to meet other relatives. Bernard became quite skilled as a shoemaker in Massachusetts. Mother: Ellen Murphy was born on Jan. 9, 1844 in Camlough, County Armagh. She was 8 years old when her family sailed from Liverpool on the Western Star. They arrived in Boston on June 20, 1852 to live with relatives. Ellen eventually found work in the textile mills near Portland, Maine. Bernard and Ellen met at a Fourth of July picnic in Biddeford, Maine. It was love at rst sight, but Ellen’s mother established a 3-year waiting period before the two could marry. Ellen was 16 years old at the time. The separation was difcult and the two lost contact. With the help of his parish priest, Bernard reunited with his sweetheart and married her on October 6, 1863 at St.
