Feast of St. Martha

July 29th ~ Feast of St. Martha

St. Martha

Martha was the sister of Mary of Bethany and Lazarus. In the West, her feast day comes a week after that of St Mary Magdalene because of the old and probably erroneous tradition that Mary Magdalene was the same person as Martha’s sister.

Taken from the Catholic Calendar 

On this feast day I think of a dear friend, Martha Curry, RSCJ who has recently finished writing a book, BARAT COLLEGE: A LEGACY, A SPIRIT AND A NAME.  To learn more about the author and when and where you can purchase her book go to www.MarthaCurryBook.info
