ST. AUGUSTINE OF CANTERBURY
St. Augustine shares with St. Gregory the Great the title of Apostle of the English people. In 596, thirty-nine monks, under their Abbot Augustine from St. Andrew’s monastery in Rome, were commissioned by Pope Gregory the Great to evangelize the Anglo-Saxons in England. It was on the Isle of Thanet, at or near Ebbsfleet, that they landed, and King Ethelbert welcomed them. One day, the King sent for the monks, whom he determined to interview in the open, the better to resist, as he thought, any magic arts. Augustine and his fellow-laborers came in procession, chanting their litanies, bearing a silver cross and a painted picture of Jesus Christ. The King bade them to be seated, and listened attentively while they preached the Word of Life. Aided by God’s grace, the King received Baptism, to the great joy of St. Augustine, on June 1st, the eve of Pentecost. Many others followed his example and were received into the One, True Fold of Christ. Learning of the wonderful success of St. Augustine, Pope Gregory appointed him a Bishop in 601, and soon thereafter as the Metropolitan of the Anglo-Saxons, with authority to establish twelve suffragan dioceses. St. Augustine chose Dovernum, now Canterbury, for his dioceses. After several years of evangelical labor among the Anglo-Saxons, St. Augustine died at Canterbury in 605.
