Alban Roe
Saint Alban Roe (20 July 1583 – 21 January 1642) was an English Benedictine priest. He is remembered as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. ==Early life== Details of Fr.Roe’s life are scanty. He was not typically monastic, but of an explosive and unpredictable temperament.〔Benedict’s Disciples, ed.D.H.Farmer, 1980, ISBN 0-85244-011-1, p255; chapter "Three Seventeenth Century Martyrs" by Dom Geoffrey Scott of Douai Abbey.〕 Yet in spite of all this the outstanding characteristic of his life was cheerfulness and tenacity, and his sanctity is unquestionable.〔Blessed Alban Roe, Dom James Forbes of Ampleforth, 1960, p3.〕 Bartholomew Roe was born in 1583, in Suffolk. He was brought up a Protestant and with his brother James converted to Catholicism; both became Benedictine monks. The disruption caused by the Dissolution of the Monasteries deprived Benedictine monks of a key aspect of their life: lifelong stability within a community. Large monasteries had disappeared and those houses which remained consisted of small fragmented groups or even isolated individuals. Inevitably for monks at this time, this type of community led some to focus on contemplation, becoming withdrawn mystics whilst others out of necessity were more practical and individual, and focussed on the missionary aspect.〔Scott, p246-247.〕
