New Release: Lives of the English Martyrs!

In 1905, a two volume set on the lives of the English Martyrs were released in England. Volume I covered the 15 martyrs under Henry VIII declared blessed by Pope Leo XIII. Volume II related the lives of 24 martyrs beatified by Leo XIII who died under Elizabeth I.

Many of these martyrs are virtually unknown in America. RequiemPress is hoping to re-print the entire two volume set as individual booklets. They will be easy to carry and quick to read, but these heroic tales will inspire your heart with love for God and the Faith.

The first in the series is about St. Cuthbert Mayne...

St. Cuthbert Mayne was canonized in 1970 by Pope Paul VI as one of the 40 martyrs of England and Wales. He was the first martyr from the English seminary at Douay.

A convert to the Faith and former Protestant minister, Cuthbert Mayne fled England when his name as potential Papist was revealed.

He studied for the priesthood at the English seminary at Douay and then returned to England to provide the sacraments to the faithful there and to meet his martyrdom.

Release of this booklet is expected on March 29th 2006. Look for it on the website then.
