Augustinian Hospitaller Sister of the Mercy of Jesus
Blessed Catherine of St. Augustine was born in France and given a good education. Since her youth she had a devotion to Our Lady and cared for the sick. Following the advice of St. John Eudes, she entered the Augustinian Hospitaller Sisters of Mercy of Jesus in 1644. (A nursing order) Catherine volunteered to go to the Quebec mission despite the objections of her family. On the voyage to Canada, she contracted the plague. During her life, she struggled with spiritual dryness and debilitating illnesses. She was a prodigy of sacrificial love, kind and gracious to all, and a great mystic. Blessed Catherine is considered a co-founder of the Catholic Church in Canada. Pope St. John Paul II beatified her in 1989.

Saint Rose Venerini
1656-1728
Feast Day: May 7
Canonized in 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI
Saint Rose Venerini was born in Viterbo, Italy. She discerned the contemplative religious life after her fiancé died. Yet her true vocation was teaching, which she realized under the guidance of her spiritual director. She believed that to educate would improve the lives of the poor and in spite of severe opposition, she opened a preschool for girls and founded a religious institute of women called the Venerini Sisters. By the time of her death, she oversaw the training of teachers and administration of over 40 schools throughout Italy.

The feast day of Saints Philip and James, Apostles, is on May 3rd. This day commemorates the lives and martyrdom of two of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus.
St. Philip was one of the first apostles to be called by Jesus and is known for his preaching and evangelizing in Phrygia and Greece. He is also famously known for his encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch, which is recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.
St. James, also called James the Less or James the Just, was a cousin of Jesus and the first bishop of Jerusalem. He played an important role in the early Christian Church and was known for his piety and devotion to prayer.
Both apostles were martyred for their faith. St. Philip was crucified upside down, while St. James was stoned to death. The Church honors them together on May 3rd, acknowledging their important contributions to the spread of the Gospel and their ultimate sacrifice for Christ.
Happy Feast Day
St. Phillip & St. James the Less, pray for us!
Two of the original Apostles, were followers of Jesus. Both died a martyr's death.
