KALENDAR OF THE WEEK

Sunday, October 1. Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost. St. Remigius.
St. Remigius, or Remy, was a sixthcentury Archbishop of Rheims; to that high dignity he was consecrated when only twenty-two years of age, and for more than seventy years he governed the see. This saint, the Apostle of the Franks, baptised that nation's king, Clovis, together with upwards of three thousand of his subjects.

Tuesday, October 3. St. Teresa of Lisieux.
All the Catholic world has rung with the fame of the "Little Flower," a saint practically of our own day. This St. Teresa died in 1897, and was canonised fourteen years ago. She is one of the most popular saints of the Carmelite Order.
Wednesday, October 4. St. Francis of Assisi, To-day's saint, too, " the poor man of Assisi," is venerated throughout the Catholic world; non-Catholics also, both Anglicans and Nonconformists, are increasingly taking up his cultus; several modern Anglican churches have been dedicated to him. St. Francis (s.n. 1182-1226) was the founder of the Order of Friars Minor. His life, and the lives of his Franciscan companions, make beautiful chapters in the religious history of the period.
Thursday, October 5. SS. Placid and Companions.
In this feast honour is paid to the memory of a Christian company who suffered martyrdom at Messina, in Sicily, in the sixth century. One of their number was a woman, St. Flavia, sister to St. Placid; most of the others were early Benedictine monks, sent by St. Benedict to make a Sicilian foundation.

Friday, October 6. St. Bruno.
The founder of the Carthusians, St. Bruno, was born at Cologne in the eleventh century. He laid the foundation of his Order in the solitary spot known as the Grande Chartreuse, whence the English word Charterhouse came, as a corruption, to denote a monastery of the Order. There is one great Carthusian house in modern England, that at Parkminster, in Sussex,
Saturday, October 7. The Holy Rosary.
