Remembrances for April


Dear friends, if you have time, please pray for these members of the Southern family on the day they reposed.  Many thanks.

April 3rd
Richard Weaver
Perhaps the greatest defender of Southern ways to be born in Dixie.

April 6th
Gen Albert Sidney Johnston
One of Dixie’s leaders during the War, killed at the Battle of Shiloh.

April 9th
Appomattox Day
If you have time, please pray for the South on April 9th, Appomattox Day, the beginning of our sojourn in captivity.  Do some fasting as well if you can:  The Holy Fathers tell us and show us over and over again that humility attracts the Grace of God.

April 12th
Gen Richard Taylor
He lived and fought in Louisiana before and during the turbulent War years and was buried there after he died.

April 25th
Donald Davidson
Another excellent 20th century defender of the South and an excellent writer of poems, non-fiction prose, and ballads.

April 26th
Don Andres Almonaster
A wealthy Spanish civil servant who lived in New Orleans during Spanish rule of Louisiana.  He gave very generously to rebuild the city after the Great Fire of 1788.  Two of his notable benefactions are what would become Charity Hospital and the Cathedral of New Orleans in which he is buried.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
