BABYLAS Memorial 24 January in the Latin Church; 4 September in the Greek Church Profile Bishop of Antioch in 240. In 244 he refused entrance to liturgical services to emperor Philip the Arabian, due to the emperor having murdered his predecessor; he ordered him to take his place among the penitents by the church door, which the emperor did. During the Decian persecution (260) he made an unwavering confession of faith in public; thrown into prison where he died a martyr. He asked to be buried in his chains to symbolize his love and loyalty to God. Caesar Gallus built a church at Daphne near Antioch in honor of Babylas, and the saint's bones were transferred to it. Julian the Apostate later consulted the nearby oracle of Apollo; when he received no answer, he blamed it on the proximity of the saint, and had the martyr's sarcophagus returned to its original site. In the middle ages the bones of Babylas were carried to Cremona. Died of abuse and mistreatment in prisons c.260 Canonized Pre-Congregation

Ferdinand Mary Baccilleri Memorial 13 July Profile Raised in a pious family, he was educated by the Barnabites in Bologna, and the Jesuits in Ferrara, Italy. Jesuit novice in Rome in 1838, but health problems force him to drop out and return home. When he improved, he studied theology in Ferrara, and was ordained in 1844. Noted spiritual director and preacher of home missions. He taught Italian and Latin at the seminary in Finale Emilia, and studied civil and canon law at the Pontifical University of Bologna. In 1851 the Archbishop of Bologna asked him to administer a troubled parish in Galeazza. He was so successful that he was appointed him the parish priest; he stayed for 41 years. In 1867 Father Ferdinand lost his voice, and was forced to write out his lessons and have others deliver them. With his public work restricted, he concentrated on one-to-one spiritual direction, hearing confessions up to 16 hours at a time. His direction, and his personal holiness, attracted so many spiritual students that without his planning it, a religious congregation formed around the parish. The Confraternity of the Sorrowful Mother was founded to teach poor girls in the area. Later, the Servite Third Order was established. In 1862 he opened a small convent for the members, and in 1866 they were formalized under the rule of the Mantellate Servile Sisters of Rome; the community was approved by the Archbishop of Bologna in 1899, and by the Vatican in 1919. The Confraternity continues its work today in Italy, Germany, Brazil, South Korea and the Czech Republic.
