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.
