BRUNSWICK, GEORG A
Rev. Wm. J. Harty-
(Continued from Pape One)
St. Coloniba, British equivalent
of the Knights of Columbus. It
will be staged especially thi,s
year for the persecuted members
of the Church of Silence behind
the Iron Curtain.
In addition to St. Thomas,
special prayers of intercession
will be made also to two other
great English martyrs—St. John
Fisher, once Bishop of the near
by medieval See of Rochester,
and St. Thomas More, Chancel
lor of England in the reign of
Henry VIII.
The pilgrims will escort the
Blessed Sacrament and relics of
St. Thomas a Becket along Can
terbury’s well-known Penitenti
al Mile. This was first trod by
King Henry II in atonement for
the saintly Archbishop’s assas
sination at his orders, and
through succeeding centuries up
to the time of the Reformation
by hundreds of thousands of oth
ers of all nations.
Alternatively singing hymns
and reciting the Rosary, the pil
grims will restore for a day
something of the glorious past as
they move out to the Dane John,
prehistoric mound fortification
on the outskirts, to hear Father
Harty’s sermon and attend Bene
diction at an open-air altar.
Afterwards the pilgrims will
crowd into the present little
Catholic Church of St. Thomas
in the town to venerate the
saint’s relics, particularly the re
liquary containing a bone from
the saint’s body which was pre
sented to the church two years
ago by the Benedictine Abbey at
Chevetogne, Belgium. They will
also visit the little local Protes
tant church of St. Dunstan,
where, in pre-Reformation times,
St. Thomas More’s favorite
daughter, Margaret, used to hear
Mass, and where the head of her
father can be seen wrapped in
the lead in which it was placed
after his execution.
In the, Cathedral itself, the
pilgrims will be able to see the
stone cross on the floor of the
transept marking the spot where
St. Thomas a'Becket was attack
ed and murdered by the King’s
knights on December 29, 1170,
for opposing the seizure of ec
clesiastical property.
In an appeal for support of the
pilgrimage, Bishop Cowderoy
said:
’’The condition of Europe, and,
indeed, of the whole world in
dicates the necessity of prayer
if our Christian civilization is to
survive. One potent form of
prayer is the public manifesta
tion of faith by pilgrimage. The
Canterbury Pilgrimage is uni
que, for Canterbury is the cradle
of English Catholicism. It has
produced more saints than any
other place in our land, and it
was for centuries the pilgrimage
center of Europe.”
Martyrdom In
Georgia—
(Continued'from Page Three)
a year by the rebellious Indians.
The only Franciscans who were
serving on the missions in Georgia
at the time who escaped the fury
of the Indians were Father Pedro
de Chozas and Father Francisco
Pareja of San Pedro Mission on
Cumberland Island, where the
chief, a good Christian, led his
tribesmen against the assailants
and put them to flight.
Much of the story of these Mar
tyrs of Georgia is still hidden in
the archives of Spain and the
Vatican, but it is by slow degrees
being brought to light.
The stories of these Missionary
deaths is repeated here in the
hope that it might inspire in
the Catholics of Georgia a greater
appreciation of, and a more fer
vent devotion to, the Catholic
Faith which was brought to our
shores by intrepid Servants of
God who met their deaths while
preaching the teachings of Christ
to the natives of a newly discov
ered world.
