We go back up by Lake Erie again this week to a small Catholic Church in Oak Harbor – St. Boniface Catholic Church.
Saint Boniface (born c. 675, Wessex, England—died June 5, 754, Dokkum, Frisia [now in the Netherlands). His feast day is June 5). St. Boniface was an English missionary and reformer, often called the apostle of Germany for his role in the Christianization of that country. Boniface set the church in Germany on a firm course of undeviating piety and irreproachable conduct. In his letters and in the writings of his contemporaries, he appears as a man of purpose and dedication, an innovator with a powerful though willful personality.
