Today's heraldic saint: St Edmund Campion (1540-1581)

Badge granted to Campion House, St Aloysius' College, Glasgow, by the Lord Lyon in 2006:
 
Badge made by Fattorini of Birmingham
 "And touching our Societie, be it known to you that we have made a
league----
all the Jesuits in the world, whose succession and multitude
must overreach all the practices of England----
cheerfully to carry the
cross you shall lay upon us, and never to despair your recovery, while
we have a man left to enjoy your Tyburn, or to be racked with your
torments, or consumed with your prisons. The expense is reckoned,
the enterprise is begun; it is of God, it cannot be withstood.
So the Faith was planted: so it must be restored."
