November 13th

Today is the feast of St. Stanislaus Koska (on the traditional Roman calendar). St. Stanislaus Koska is also my father's name saint, and this is the day Dad was buried. So we do celebrate this day here at Bethany.

It's always been a mystery to us why my Irish father was named after a Polish saint. Some say the Doctor delivering him influenced the decision. We just don't know.

I couldn't find a picture of St. Stanilaus on the internet, and I am too lazy to go get the icon we have downstairs and scan it in. But if you want to know more about him, the best source is always theThe Catholic Encyclopedia. Read the article on St. Stanislaus Koska here.

St. Stanislaus Koska - Pray for us!
Our Lady of Joyful Hope-Pray for us!
Oremus pro invicem!
