Some cast members from Saint Nicholas Owen

Set Production and on location for St. Nicholas Owen

Saint Nicholas Owen

Maker of priest holes throughout England during the persecution of Catholics and Catholic priests under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I.  He worked with Fr. Henry Garnet and Fr. John Gerard and was one of the first Jesuit lay brothers.  He eluded the government for many years until his final capture and torture to death.

Fr. Henry Garnet

Head of the Jesuits in England during fierce persecution and execution of Catholic priests.  He guided his priests and ran an amazing network of priests and recusants that kept the Catholic Faith alive in England.  Eventually he was martyred in 1601.

Fr. John Gerard
 
Most famous for his book 'The autobiography of an Elizabethan' in which he writes of his experiences on the English Mission with numerous Saints and Martyrs.  He worked with Saint Nicholas Owen to save many souls and it is believed that it was because of Saint Nicholas Owen that he escaped from the infamous Tower of London and thus eventually  returned to Italy and wrote his important work.

Blessed Fr. Edward Oldcorne

Jesuit priest who was captured with St. Nicholas Owen and Martyred at Red Hill in 1606 after torture and torment for his Catholic Faith and priesthood.  He was Beatified in 1929 and is an English Martyr.

 

Blessed Ralph Ashley

Servant to Blessed Fr. Oldcorne and a Jesuit lay brother, he hid with St. Nicholas Owen when the house they were at was raided by priest hunters.  He was arrested and Martyred at Red Hill in 1606 with Fr. Oldcorne.  As Fr. Oldcorne waited on the ladder to die, Brother Ralph kissed Fr. Oldcorne's feet and said "What a happy man I am to follow in the steps of my sweet father."  He was Beatified in 1929 and is an English Martyr.

Sir Robert Cecil

Secretary of State under Queen Elizabeth I and King James I of England, he was also King James I's spymaster and encouraged the Gunpowder Plot to capture the Jesuits he so hated and insight further persecution of Catholics.  He despised the Catholic Church and was especially pleased to capture St. Nicholas Owen.  When the Saint died under torture, Robert Cecil attempted to spread lies about St. Nicholas Owen's suicide which was proven false due to St. Nicholas' inability to even move his hands.

Henry Owen

Brother of St. Nicholas Owen, Henry spent most of his life printing outlawed Catholic literature, thus providing Catechism, the truths of the Church and spiritual reading for the oppressed Catholics in England.
