Saints of the Week

As our regular programme didn't have space this week for Saint of the Week, we said we would post them seperately for our regular readers and listeners. We have a couple of 'heavy hitters' this week as well as some friends of the blog; in fact we are going to have a little difficulty trying to work out which feast day we will honour on Aug 8th!

August 6th - Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord

August 7th - St Cajetan

August 8th - St Dominic - founder of the Dominican Orders

August 8th -  also St Mary of the Cross MacKillop (friend of this blog and radio programme)

August 9th - St Theresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)(Virgin, Martyr)

August 10th - St Lawrence (Deacon)(Martyr)

August 11th - St Clare of Assisi - founder of the Poor Clares and patron saint of television
