SAINT OF THE WEEK – Saints John Fisher and Thomas More. Saint John Fisher (1469 – 1535) studied theology at Cambridge and became Bishop of Rochester. His friend, Thomas More, wrote of him, ‘I reckon in this realm no one man, in wisdom, learning and long approved virtue together, meet to be matched and compared with him’. Saint Thomas More (1477 – 1535) was born in London and was Chancellor of King Henry VIII. As a family man and a public servant, his life was an expression of a rare synthesis of human sensitivity and Christian wisdom. Saint John Fisher and Saint Thomas More gave up their lives in testimony to the unity of the Church and to the indissolubility of marriage. Their feast is celebrated on June 22nd.
