On September 14, we members of the Catholic Church family celebrate the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (also called Triumph of the Cross).
We also honor, in a special way, the following friends of God -- saints whose souls are now in heaven:

Sts. Caerealis and Sallustia of Rome (Italian, soldier and wife, martyred in 251)
King St. Cormac of Cashel (Irish, monarch, bishop, d. 908)
Sts. Crescentian, Victor, Rosula, and Generalis (North African, martyred c. 258)
St. Crescentius of Perugia (Italian, 11-year-old boy, tortured and martyred by beheading c. 300)
St. John Gabriel Taurin Dufresse of Ville-de-Lezoux [Jean-Gabriel] (French, religious of the Paris Foreign Missions Society, bishop in China, martyred by beheading at age 65 in 1815 [beatified 1900, canonized 2000])
St. Notburga of Rattenburg (Austrian, maidservant, died at about age 48 in 1313 [canonized 1862])
St. Maternus of Cologne (German, bishop of Trier, c. 326)

If you have anything to share about these holy people, please reply now -- biographical episodes, prayers through their intercession, the fact that one is your patron -- whatever moves you. If you are interested in one of these saints or blesseds and want to find out more about him/her, please ask. Additional information is sometimes available on the Internet.

All you holy men and women, saints of God, pray for us.
God bless you.
John
