Cuthbert Mayne


If you have visited my other blog recently, you may have noted that RequiemPress is about to release a new booklet on St. Cuthbert Mayne, one of the English Martyrs. The booklet is ready for release tomorrow.

A little background: 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 reprint 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.

It should be up on the website for sale tomorrow when you wake up ($3.25 + S&H). (Our major release, Giving Up Stealing ... Lent!, is still at least a few days-possibly more-out.)

This booklet on St. Cuthbert Mayne (and the planned entire series on the English Martyrs) is a welcome return to our original mission of reprinting historical works.
