Come and join us tomorrow at 10.00 a.m. for Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary. We will be celebrating the eve of the feast of SS Perpetua and Felicity and their companions, martyred under the Roman emperor Septimus Severus. Perpetua was a recently married, well-educated noblewoman of Carthage with an infant child, and Felicity was a slave-woman imprisoned with her and pregnant at the time. Saturninus and Secundus, free men, and Revocatus, a slave, were all catechumens, being instructed in the faith but not yet baptised. Another man, Saturus, voluntarily went before the magistrate and proclaimed himself a Christian. They were all martyred in 203 AD. Previously their feast day was 6 March, but then moved to 7 March. We celebrate their witness.
All are welcome, either in person or on the livestream.
