Saint Alban Roe, Priest and Martyr
All Martyrs of England and Wales, Pray for Us.

"After blessing the Catholics present, Father Alban said to them: ‘When you see our arms stretched out and nailed to the city gates, imagine that we are giving you the same blessing as now; and when you see our heads high up on London Bridge, take it that they are there simply to preach to you, to proclaim that very faith for which we are about to die.'"

Saint Francis of Assisi, Pray for Us.

“Every day He humbles Himself just as He did when from from His heavenly throne into the Virgin's womb; every day He comes to us and lets us see Him in lowliness, when He descends from the bosom of the Father into the hands of the priest at the altar.”
― St. Francis of Assisi

Reminder: Saint Louis Abbey invites you to a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of the Very Reverend Paul Kidner, O.S.B., Prior of Peterborough -- ordained on July 20, 1958, at Ampleforth Abbey -- during the celebration of the Eucharist THIS SUNDAY, September 30, at 2 p.m. in the Abbey Church, 500 South Mason Road, St. Louis, Missouri 63141.

For those who may not be aware, Father Paul was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer in July. The cancer has not spread to other organs. A team of doctors has determined a treatment plan, and Father Paul began chemotherapy earlier this month, with surgery a possibility in the future. Please keep Father Paul in your prayers.
