St. Swithun Wells - Martyr for priests


There are few resources available for this inspiring Catholic layman, who was hanged with young St. Fr. Edmund Gennings in 1591. There is now a DVD account of St. Swithun Wells who was executed for his part in hiding many hunted priests in Elizabethan England.  An interesting story.  Available on DVD through AMAZON and www.marysdowryproductions.org/shop/

 "Hurry up please, Mr. Topcliffe. Are you not ashamed to make a poor old man stand in his shirt in the cold? God pardon you and make you of a Saul a Paul, of a bloody persecutor one of the Catholic Church's children. By your malice I am thus to be executed, but you have done me the greatest benefit that ever I could have had. I heartily forgive you." - Last words of St. Swithun Wells at the gallows - 1591.
