St. Boniface- June 5 (680-754)
The saint we know as Boniface was born in Devonshire, England and given the name Wynfrid. He was raised in Benedictine monasteries. By 717, he was a renowned teacher and preacher, but gave up his work in response to a call to the mission field of northern Netherlands. In Rome, Pope Gregory II re-named him Boniface. At Geismar, Boniface made a tremendous impression by destroying the great Oak of Thor, an object of pagan worship, without being harmed by ‘the gods.’ Boniface is called the “Apostle of Germany.” He and 30 companions were killed by non-Christians in 754.

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - June 30, 2019

6/26/2019

Saint Peter and Saint Paul June 29
Tradition says these two apostles, honoured since the earliest days, were martyred in Rome. Peter, a fisherman, was chosen by Jesus to be his disciple. After Simon confessed that Jesus was the Christ, Jesus changed Simon’s name to Peter and told him that it was on this rock (petra) that he would build his Church. Paul was born in Tarsus. His experience of the risen Christ resulted in his conversion from a persecutor of Christians to an apostle. In the Acts of the Apostles his friend Luke describes Paul’s missionary journeys between the years 45 and 57, his return to Jerusalem, his arrest and his appeal to Caesar. He was martyred for the faith about year 66. Paul called himself the “Apostle of the Gentiles.”
