Memorial of St. Louis, King of France

St Louis IX (1214-1270) was king of France from 1226 to 1270.
St. Louis IX is one of the most notable European monarchs of the Middle Ages. His reign is remembered as a medieval golden age in which the Kingdom of France reached an economic as well as political peak.
He was seen as inspired by Christian zeal and Catholic devotion. He was a reformer and developed a French royal justice in which the king was the supreme judge to whom anyone could, in theory, appeal from a judgment. He banned trials by ordeal, tried to end the scourge of private wars and introduced the presumption of innocence in criminal procedure.
He is the only canonized king of France..

Catholic Education Sunday 2026

Yesterday morning, girls from St Anthony’s Canossian Secondary School and boys from St Joseph’s Institution came together at the 10.00am Sunday Mass at St Joseph’s Church VS to celebrate Catholic Education Sunday.

Our girls served joyfully in many ways, singing in the choir, cantoring the Psalm and Gospel Acclamation, proclaiming the Word as lectors, serving as Ministers of Hospitality, presenting the offertory gifts and distributing brochures to the congregation.

The Mass was also attended by our teachers, school leaders and parents, bringing us together as one community united in faith, education and service.

It was a beautiful reminder that the formation of every child is a shared mission, nurtured by school, family and Church.

Feast of St. Bartholomew, Apostle

St. Bartholomew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament.

Along with his fellow apostle Jude "Thaddeus", Bartholomew is reputed to have brought Christianity to Armenia in the 1st century. Thus, both saints are considered the patron saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Many miracles have been attributed to St. Bartholomew. One popular miracle recounts how townsfolk of an Italian town were trying to carry a solid gold and silver statue from inside the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew through town. Each time they tried to lift it, it kept getting heavier. While they were impeded for the third time, the walls of the town further downhill collapsed. If the statue had been lifted successfully, the townsfolk would have been killed.

Memorial of St. Rose of Lima, Virgin (Patron Saint of embroidery, gardening and cultivation of blooming flowers)

St. Rose of Lima (1586-1617) was born into a noble family. She was a member of the Third Order of St. Dominic in Lima, Peru, who became known for both her life of severe penance and her care of the poverty stricken of the city through her own private efforts.
St. Rose was beatified by Pope Clement IX on 10 May 1667, and canonized on 12 April 1671, by Pope Clement X, and was the first Catholic in the Americas to be declared a saint. Her shrine, alongside those of her friends, Sts. Martin de Porres and John Macias, is currently located inside the convent of St. Dominic in Lima.
Many miracles followed her death: there were stories that she had cured a l***r, and that, at the time of her death, the city of Lima smelled like roses; roses also started falling from the sky. Many places in the New World are named Santa Rosa after her.

22 August 2026

This morning at St Joseph’s Church (Victoria Street), our children and youth took a beautiful step in their journey of faith, making their First Confession.

Gathered before the altar, they experienced the grace of God’s mercy and the joy of reconciliation. Surrounded by prayer and guided by our priests, their hearts were renewed and made ready to walk more closely with Christ.

We give thanks to God Almighty for these young souls and pray that this encounter with God’s forgiveness will continue to strengthen them as they grow in faith, hope, and love.

We also entrust them to Mary, Queen of Heaven, on this day of the Queenship of our Blessed Mother, who lovingly intercedes for her children. May she continue to guide them with her motherly care, leading them ever closer to her Son.

Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Church celebrates the Queenship of Mary, recognizing her as the Queen of Heaven and Earth. The feast day was established by Pope Pius XII in his encyclical “Ad Coeli Reginam”, in which he called her the “Lord Queen of Heaven and earth…exalted above all chairs of Angels and the ranks of the Saints in Heaven, standing at the right hand of Her only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.” He urged Catholics to bring their troubles and sorrows to Mary and seek her intercession.
