About St. Tarcisius

Name: Tarcisius
Meaning: Bravely
Feast: August 14

St. Tarcisius (or Tarsicius) (Italian and Spanish: San Tarsicio or Tarcisio) was a martyr of the early Christian church who lived in the 3rd century. The little that is known about him comes from a metrical inscription by Pope Damasus I, who was pope at least a century later.

He preferred death at the hands of a mob rather than delivering to them the Blessed Sacrament, which he was carrying. As Damasus compares him to St. Stephen, who was stoned to death, this may have been the manner of his end. His story was greatly expanded by Nicholas Cardinal Wiseman, who portrays him as a young acolyte in his novel Fabiola, or the Church in the Catacombs.

He was originally buried in the Catacombs of San Callisto, but today his relics remain in the San Silvestro in Capite church in Rome. His feast day is celebrated on 15 August, but, since that day is occupied by the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, he is not mentioned in the General Roman Calendar, but only in the Roman Martyrology.

He is the patron saint of altar servers and first communicants. The municipality of Saint-Tharcisius in Quebec, Canada, is named after him,[1] as well as a 35 kilograms (77 lb) bell in the Stephansdom in Vienna, Austria. Blessed José Sánchez del Río was nicknamed "Tarcisius."


Prayer to St. Tarcisius

O God, You have graciously called me to serve You upon Your altar.
Grant me the graces that I need to serve You faithfully and wholeheartedly.
Grant too that while serving You, may I follow the example of St. Tarcisius,
who died protecting the Eucharist, and walked the same path that led him to Heaven.
St. Tarcisius, pray for me and for all servants.
Amen.
