Get to Know a Saint:

St. Hilda

According to Bede, Hilda was born in 614, into

the Deiran royal household. She was the second

daughter of Hereric, nephew of Edwin, King of

Deira, and his wife Breguswith.[1] When Hilda was

still an infant, her father was poisoned while in

exile at the court of the British King of Elmet in

what is now West Yorkshire. In 616 CE, Edwin

killed Aethefrith, the son of Æthelric of Bernicia, in

battle. He created the kingdom of Northumbria and

took the throne. Hilda was brought up at King

Edwin's court.

In 625, the widowed Edwin married the Christian

princess, Æthelburh of Kent, daughter of

KingÆthelberht of Kent and

the Merovingian princess Bertha of Kent. As part of

the marriage contract, Aethelburgh was allowed to

continue her Roman Christian worship and was

accompanied to Northumbria with her

chaplain, Paulinus of York, a Roman monk sent to

England in 601 to assist Augustine of Canterbury.

Augustine's mission in England was based in Kent,

and is referred to as the Gregorian mission after the

pope who sent him.[2] As queen, Æthelburh

continued to practice her Christianity and no doubt

influenced her husband's thinking as her mother

Bertha had influenced her father.

In 627 King Edwin was baptised on Easter Day, 12

April, along with his entire court, which included

the 13-year-old Hilda,[2] in a small wooden church

hastily constructed for the occasion near the site of

the present York Minster.

In 633 Northumbria was overrun by the

neighbouring pagan King of Mercia, at which time

King Edwin fell in battle. Paulinus accompanied

Hilda and Queen Æthelburh and her companions to

the Queen's home in Kent. Queen Æthelburh

founded a convent at Lyminge and it is assumed

that Hilda remained with the Queen-

Abbess.[3] Hilda's elder sister, Hereswith, married

Ethelric, brother of King Anna of East Anglia, who

with all of his daughters became renowned for their

Christian virtues. Later, Hereswith became a nun

at Chelles Abbey in Gaul (modern France). Bede

resumes Hilda's story at a point when she was about

to join her widowed sister at Chelles Abbey. At the

age of 33, Hilda decided instead to answer the call

of Bishop Aidan of Lindisfarne and returned

to Northumbria to live as a nun.[4]

Hilda's original convent is not known except that it

was on the north bank of the River Wear. Here,

with a few companions, she learned the traditions

of Celtic monasticism, which Bishop Aidan brought

from Iona. After a year Aidan appointed Hilda as

the second Abbess of Hartlepool Abbey.[5] No trace

remains of this abbey, but its monastic cemetery

has been found near the present St Hilda's

Church, Hartlepool.

In 657 Hilda became the founding abbess

of Whitby Abbey, then known as Streoneshalh; she

remained there until her death.[6]Archaeological

evidence shows that her monastery was in the

Celtic style, with its members living in small

houses, each for two or three people. The tradition

in double monasteries, such as Hartlepool and

Whitby, was that men and women lived separately



8

but worshipped together in church. The exact

location and size of the church associated with this

monastery is unknown.

Bede states that the original ideals of monasticism

were maintained strictly in Hilda's abbey. All

property and goods were held in common; Christian

virtues were exercised,

especially peace and charity. Everyone had to study

the Bible and do good works.

Five men from this monastery later

became bishops.[5] Two, John of Beverley, Bishop

of Hexham andWilfrid, Bishop of York,

were canonized for their service to the Christian

church at a critical period in its fight against

paganism.

Ask Eligible Men to Join

Today, I want to address the growth of the Order.

Membership growth is the fuel that keeps this great

fraternal engine running. All of our charitable

works at the council, state, national and

international level are thanks to our hard-working

members. And more members equals more charity.

We know that the membership blitz is a tried and

true way for councils to get more men to join. We

see these pushes often in March, in celebration of

Founder’s Day, and again in October. These drives

are successful because brother Knights have

increased visibility speaking or presenting during

and after Masses and at special events. We must

remember that we have a duty to ask each and

every Catholic gentleman to join our ranks for the

good of the Church, the community and the Order.

During the rest of the year, we often “forget” to ask

men to join and to bring their families into the

Knights of Columbus family. You probably know

an eligible Catholic man you could ask today. What

if the only reason he hasn’t joined is because no

one has asked him yet?

When telling a prospect about the strengths of the

Order, don’t forget our greatest fraternal benefit:

our insurance program. This is often a “selling

point” to a potential member who is on the fence.

Many members become Knights simply to be able

to buy coverage to protect their family. Soon after,

they realize the good our charitable works do for

their community, and they are proud to be

members.

As your professional Knights of Columbus

insurance agent, I look forward to helping us grow

in fraternity in any way that I can.

Tony’s Trivia Answers: 1. Answer: Nicolaus Copernicus

Opposition was first raised against the Copernican

system by Protestant theologians for Biblical

reasons and strange to say it has continued, at least

sporadically, to our own days. A list of many of

their Pamphlets is enumerated by Beckmann. On

the Catholic side opposition only commenced

seventy-three years later, when it was occasioned

by Galileo. On 5 March, 1616, the work of

Copernicus was forbidden by the Congregation of

the Index "until corrected", and in 1620 these

corrections were indicated. Nine sentences, by

which the heliocentric system was represented as

certain, had to be either omitted or changed. This

done, the reading of the book was allowed. In 1758

the book of Copernicus disappeared from the

revised Index of Benedict XIV. New editions were

issued in Basle (1566) by Rheticus; in Amsterdam

(1617) by Müller of Göttingen, in Warsaw (1854)

an edition de luxe with Polish translation and the

real preface of Copernicus; and the latest (5th) in

Torun (1873) by the Copernicus Society, on the

four hundredth anniversary of the author's birthday,

with all the corrections of the text, made by

Copernicus, given as foot-notes. A monument by

Thorwaldsen was erected to Copernicus in Warsaw

(1830), and another by Tieck at Torun (1853).

Rheticus, Clavius, and others called Copernicus the

second Ptolemy, and his book the second

"Almagest." His genius appears in the fact that he

grasped the truth centuries before it could be

proved. If he had precursors they are to be

compared to those of Columbus. What is most

significant in the character of Copernicus is this,

that while he did not shrink from demolishing a

scientific system consecrated by a thousand years'

universal acceptance, he set his face against the

reformers of religion. For supplementary

information see the article GALILEO. (Catholic

Encyclopedia - Copernicus)

2. Answer: Codex Athenius

Only four great codices have survived to the

present day: Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus,

Codex Alexandrinus, and Codex Ephraemi

Rescriptus. Though they were discovered at

different times and places, they share many

similarities. They are written in a certain uncial

style of calligraphy using only capital letters,

written in scriptio continua (meaning without

regular gaps between words). Though not entirely

absent, there are very few divisions between words

in these manuscripts. Words do not necessarily end

on the same line on which they start. All these

manuscripts were made at great expense of material

and labour, written on vellum by professional

scribes. They seem to have been based on the most

accurate texts in their time. (Wikipedia-Codex)

3. Answer: The desire of the sexes.

Source: Catechism of the Catholic Church #2333

The harmony of the couple and of society depends

in part on the way in which the complementarity,

needs and mutual support of the sexes is lived out.

4. Answer: Her virginity before, during, and after

the birth of Jesus

There are three stars on Mary: one on each shoulder

and one on her head. They symbolize her virginity

before, during, and after the birth of Jesus. The

printing on either side of her head says "Our Lady

of Mt. Carmel". Above the writing are the Greek

letters which stand for the title "Meter Theou"

which means "Mother of God".

Source: K15-P14-VirginMtCarmel(03).doc by Fr.

Doug Lorig, St. Anne Parish, Gilbert, AZ.

5. Answer: 1531

Newadvent.org - Shrine of Guadalupe

"To a neophyte, fifty five years old, named Juan

Diego, who was hurrying down Tepeyac hill to hear

Mass in Mexico City, on Saturday, 9 December,

1531, the Blessed Virgin appeared and sent him to

Bishop Zumárraga to have a temple built where she

stood. ...."
