Feast Days:
4th May with the 40 Martyrs of England & Wales
1st December, the date of his execution at Tyburn.
Patron Saint of the British Jesuit Province.
Born in the shadow of St. Paul's Cathedral, London he was educated at
Christ's Hospital School and Oxford University becoming a tutor and Fellow
there. He impressed Queen Elizabeth I when he made an address to her.
Lord Burghley described him as 'one of the diamonds of England'. He took orders
as a Deacon in the Anglican Church.
Campion gave up his position and feted lifestyle when he felt called to
become a Catholic, travelling first to Dublin and Douai. He became a Jesuit in
Rome & taught in Prague before he was ordained priest.
Campion travelled in disguise to England in 1580 in support of the
Jesuit mission to England. He preached and ministered to Catholics secretly and
wrote in support of the Faith before his arrest and torture in the Tower of
London and execution on a charge of treason at Tyburn with Fr. Alexander Bryant
SJ & Fr. Ralph Sherwin.
Many schools and colleges are named in his honour recognising his faith
and his academic prowess as student and teacher.
