joining us to stand together to defend life. Come put your
faith into action. This year, we will be holding our annual vigil on
Saturday, October 3rd from 7am-7pm at the New Planned
Parenthood located at 2140 Babcock Road. This is a new location.
We ask that if you could give just one hour of your time, please

SAINTS WHO WORKED FOR CATHOLIC EDUCATION: In granting
the Anglican Use liturgy, the Vatican also approved the veneration of a
number of saints particular to the British Isles for our liturgical
calendar. Among these are two, St. Theodore and St. Adrian, whom we
commemorate on Sept. 19th.
Adrian, (in some texts “Hadrian”), was an African by birth. He became
a monk there, but was elected to lead a monastery near Naples, Italy,
as Abbot. He was a great friend of Pope Vitalian, but declined the
pope’s offer of the See of Canterbury for himself. Instead, he was
instrumental in securing the Canterbury appointment for Theodore of
Tarsus, and set out with him for England in 668, along with Benedict
Biscop, another English saint. Theodore was an Asiatic Greek,
educated at Tarsus and Athens. At the time of Adrian’s
recommendation, Theodore was only studying for the priesthood, but
was not yet a Sub-deacon. Pope Vitalian consecrated him Bishop in
668 before their departure. The missionaries to the English were
delayed in France for a time, but reached England some two years
later. St. Theodore, now 68, made a visitation to the whole of England
in his first year, and then set about reforming the government of the
Church by dividing dioceses and extending the episcopate. In 673 he
summoned, and presided over, the first important synod of the whole
English church at Hertford, and in 680 he held another great synod at
Hatfield, where a declaration of orthodoxy was drawn up and
forwarded to Rome at the request of Pope Agatho. By such methods he
unified the English church and established the metropolitan authority
of the See of Canterbury. He also, with St. Adrian, set about to
establish the entire parochial system, establishing schools throughout
England and Wales. Though he remained throughout his life a devoted
scholar, none of his writings survive. He died in 690.
St. Adrian, as Abbot of the monastery and master of the school of St.
Peter and St. Paul, for 40 years furthered the movement of conforming
religious customs and practices of England to those of Rome. A man of
great learning, he keenly furthered Catholic education, and together
with St. Theodore, founded many parochial schools throughout the
British Isles. He died in 709.
Two men, both foreigners: Adrian, a North African, and Theodore, a
Greek, accepted the call from the Church and set off as missionaries to
the English people. There, they devoted their whole lives to furthering
the spread of the Catholic faith by establishing pious practices,
establishing the diocesan and parochial system, as well as founding
many schools. Two men with a love for God and His Church changed
the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Let us ask saints
Theodore and Adrian to pray for us, that we might have willing hearts
to say “yes” to God, and do His will in our lives.
Following the 11am Mass, please join us at the Font for the
Baptism of Mateo Francesco Craig, son of Paul and
Daniela, and welcome him into the Church.
