A calendar of Feast days & Memorial dates for the lesser known Mystics, Saints & holy persons of the Catholic church that are on this website.

Christians endeavor to see and appreciate the world and all of God's creation through the eyes of faith. And it is because of our faith in Christ that we look upon our human death not as an ending, but as a new and most glorious beginning- for it is on the day of our deaths that we are born into eternal life, to be forever united with God in the Blessed Trinity, along with the Virgin Mary, the Angels, and the Saints for all of eternity. And it is precisely for this reason that Catholics do not so much honor the birthdays of the Saints, but instead of their births we honor and celebrate the dates of their earthly deaths, because it is on this day that they are born into everlasting life--their true birthday! And so it is that the Feastday or Memorial of the Saints, Blesseds and holy persons is normally always celebrated on the day of their earthly deaths.
There certainly are plenty of websites that list the feastdays and memorials of the popular and well known Saints, Blesseds and holy persons--no need to repeat that information here. So the emphasis of this page is to list the feast days of the lesser known Saints and holy persons, especially the lesser known Mystics of the Church, many of which are highlighted on this website.

Don't forget Sr. Benigna Consolata, September 1!
Thanks for the list, btw!
Thanks for the suggestion! I just added her and I also realized that I really need to update this list with the quite a few mystics I have added to this site.
Thanks again!
May God bless you and your loved ones,

Hello, not sure if you're still writing articles at this time, but would you consider writing about St. Hildegard? I get the impression her writings are important, but maybe not the most accessible. I've been surprised to find, for a Doctor of the Church, how scattered the information about her is, and how varied the opinions.
Hi Nick,
Thanks for the suggestion! -Yes, St. Hildegard would indeed be a great one to add to this website. I recently added St Lutgarde who as you know was another extraordinary early woman mystic and stigmatic.
May God bless you and your loved ones,
Glenn Dallaire
Hi Glenn. Thanks for letting us know more about the saints, servants of God, etc. whose lives and stories bring us closer to God.
Would you add
Teresa Benedict of the Cross Edith Stein (1891-1942)
nun, Discalced Carmelite, martyr?
Thanks and God bless you
Hi Anonymous,
Great suggestion! I added her to the calendar above. Thanks and may God bless you and your loved ones.
-Glenn
