From the Pastors Desk… St. Nicholas of Tolentine our Patron Saint

Next Sunday, September 20th, we are celebrating our Parish Feast at 12:15 PM Mass. Here is a short biography of our Patron, Saint Nicholas of Tolentine. It was more than seven centuries ago in 1245 when St. Nicholas was born in the village of Sant’ Angelo in Pon-tano, Italy. His parents considered his birth a gift through the interces-sion of St. Nicholas of Bari and so he was named after him. Brought up with a Christian education, Nicholas grew up as a pious young boy. He professed his religious vows at the age of sixteen years old in 1261, a few years after the foundation of a new order, that of the Hermits of St. Augustine. After serving briefly in Cingoli and other houses of his or-der, he went to Tolentino and remained there for the rest of his life. Amidst the decline of morality and religion in the developing city of To-lentino, Nicholas remained an authentic witness of Christ. He engaged in daily preaching and reached out to the poor and the sick. Jordan of Saxony tells us about the great brotherly love of St. Nicholas: “To the sorrowful he was joy, to the afflicted, comfort, to the divided peace, to those who toiled, refreshment; to the poor relief; to the captives and the sick, a powerful remedy.” Nicholas gave his spirit to his Creator on the 10th of September. Just as he did miracles during his life time, multiple miracles and wonders were performed through his merits. In 1446, Pope Eugene IV can-onized Nicholas, the first saint after the Grand Union of the Order of St. Augustine in 1256. Pope Leo XIII in 1884 proclaimed St. Nicholas as the “Patron Saint of the Souls in Purgatory. Through the centuries, the devotion to this saint spread far across the continents. So far there are forty-one parishes and four cathedrals dedicated to the patronage of St. Nicholas of Tolen-tine. As we celebrate his feast, next Sunday, may we also emulate his great love for God and others in our love and concern for the people around us.

God bless you,

Fr. John Francis
