St. Richard Gwyn, Father, Teacher, and Martyr, d. 1584
This week the liturgy includes a wonderful assortment of saints. Be sure to read up on and appeal to few. A great way to prepare for the coming feast of All Saints.
Saints Ursula, Hilarion, John Paul II, John of Capistrano, Richard Gwyn (and the Welsh Martyrs), Chrysanthus, and Crispian; Pray for Us.
