Feast of St. Blaise, Feb. 3
St. Blaise, one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, was a 3rd Century physician who became Bishop of Sebaste, Armenia. This was
the time of persecution under Licinius; St. Blaise remained hidden in a cave on Mt. Argeus for safety. From the Golden Legend
we read:
...the birds of heaven brought to him meat for to eat. And it seemed to him that they came to serve him and accompany him, and would not
depart from him till he had lift up his hands and blessed them. And also sick men came to him and anon were cured and healed.
It is said that Jesus Christ appeared to him three times. Wild animals came to him for healing, never disturbing him in prayer,
though. But St. Blaise is most noted for saving the life of a child who was choking on a fish bone. The child’s mother sought out
and beseeched St. Blaise for help; the good saint placed his hand atop the head of the lad, made his prayer to God for the child
and all others who were in need of health benefits, and the prayer was immediately granted.
Another time a poor widow woman whose pigs were borne away by a wolf humbly prayed to St. Blaise that they might be returned to her. “Good woman,” he said as he smiled, “anger thee not, for thou shalt have again they swine.” Miraculously, it was
the wolf who returned them to her.
St. Blaise was captured by Agricola, governor of Cappadocia, whose gods, Blaise informed him, were fiends. Enraged Agricola
tried to get him to recant his faith. While in prison, it was the widow women with the pigs who brought him food. He refused to
worship the false gods, and underwent physical persecution. Thrown into a lake to drown, Blaise stood on the surface and invited his persecutors to walk out and prove the power of their gods; they drowned. When he returned to land, he was martyred
by being beaten, his flesh flayed with iron wool combs and then beheaded, martyred for the faith along with seven women and
two children.
Because of the cure of the boy's throat, St. Blaise is patron against troubles of the throat. St. Blaise is also the patron of veterinarians and against attacks of wild animals. He is represented in art as a Bishop holding two crossed candles, with wool combs,
or in a cave surrounded by wild animals. By the 11th Century, his great popularity was proven by the 35 churches dedicated to
him in Rome alone. His remains rest in the Basilica over the town of Maratea, Italy.
Sunday, January 29, 2012 † SOLEMNITY OF SAINT FRANCIS DE SALES
GAIN A PLENARY INDULGENCE TODAY ON
THE SOLEMNITY OF ST. FRANCIS DE SALES
W
ith great joy and solemnity we will celebrate this week the Feast of
Saint Francis de Sales. More than ever do we need the wisdom, supernatural optimism and example of this great saint, spiritual director and missionary.
He is one of the principal Patrons of the Institute of Christ the King
Sovereign Priest.
We would like you to know that all the faithful, assisting at Holy Mass on
Sunday, January 29 in one of the Institute’s churches or oratories may gain
a plenary indulgence under the ordinary conditions.
As a matter of fact, several years ago the Holy See privileged the Institute’s members and its faithful with a Plenary Indulgence for the main feasts of the Institute, which are:
* The Feast of Christ the King (last Sunday in October) *
* The Feasts of the Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8) *
* St. Francis de Sales (Jan. 29) *
* St. Thomas Aquinas (Mar. 7) *
* St. Benedict (Mar. 21) *
BLESSING OF THROATS
FRIDAY FEB. 3 AND SUNDAY FEB. 6
Saint Blase wrought many miracles, and is yet invoked in dangerous
diseases of the throat, because he saved the life of a rich widow's son,
who had nearly died in consequence of swallowing a fish-bone.
The Church accordingly sanctions a special blessing of throats on
his day. Holding the blessed candles near the throat, in the form of a
cross, the priest says:
"Through the merits and intercession of Saint Blase, bishop and martyr, God
deliver thee from all diseases of the throat, and preserve thee from every other evil. In
the name of the Father etc. Amen."
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE please come to receive the
blessing on the feast day (Friday). Only those who
cannot come should seek it on Sunday.
The blessing will ONLY be given immediately
after the 8:00 a.m. Mass.
The Manitowoc Mass demands the priest’s immediate
departure after the 10:00 a.m. Mass.
Thank you!
CONFRATERNITY OF CHRISTIAN MOTHERS
The Confraternity of Christian Mothers will meet after First
Saturday Holy Mass, February 4, for the usual Christen Mother
prayers and a Conference given by Canon Hellmann.

40 DAYS FOR LIFE
February 22 - April 1
40 Days for life begins once again the task of non-stop prayers,
fasts, peaceful vigil, and public witness in an effort to bring an end to
the tragedy of abortion. There are still specific time slots that need
to be filled for those who willingly sacrifice their time on a regular
basis. At the least, Catholics are urged to spend an hour or two during
the 40 Days, joining those who walk around Bellin Hospital's Medical
Arts building, corner of Webster and Cass streets in Green Bay.
