Asian and Pacific Islander Saints and Blessed Calendar 2009

This calendar features 893 native and foreign born saints and blessed of Asia and Oceania.

To enhance information presented in this calendar the Saints and Blessed are grouped in a page and introduced by: - country of origin, or - country of martyrdom/sainthood, - dates of canonization/beatification - memorial day Names have been added to the Group of Martyrs or Companions in recognition of their individual lives, the names of large groups of Martyrs are provided on the last pages of the calendar. The main source of the names and the photos is the Congregation of the Causes of Saints; otherwise, they are indicated in parenthesis.

The gifts of life and faith of other Asian and Pacific Islander saints or blessed who are not featured in the monthly calendars are affirmed and treasured in the Litany of Asian and Pacific Islander Saints and Blessed located at the conclusion of the datebook. The Litany in-cludes a line description of the holy women and men.

The Church in Asia sings the praises of the "God of salvation" for choosing to initiate his saving plan on Asian soil, through men and women of that continent. It was in fact in Asia that God re-vealed and fulfilled his saving purpose from the beginning. He sent his only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ the Saviour, who took flesh as an Asian! Exulting in the goodness of the continent's peo-ples, cultures, and religious vitality, and conscious at the same time of the unique gift of faith which she has received for the good of all, the Church in Asia cannot cease to proclaim: "Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, for his love endures for ever" (Ecclesia in Asia) This calendar is a tribute to the Asian and Pacific Islander Com-munities. Our holy women and men represent several countries and various walks of life. Among the many saints and blessed are parents, professionals, children, religious, clergy, and members of the same family.
