Blessed Thomas Reynolds (Green)


Born as Thomas Green in about 1562, his place of birth is not clear with some sources suggesting Oxfordshire, whilst others suggest Warwickshire. Due to the persecution of Catholicism in England during his lifetime, he left England to study on the continent for the priesthood, initially going to Reims before continuing his studies from September 1590 in Valladolid, and finally at another Jesuit College, that in Seville, where again he was one of the first students. He was ordained a priest there in 1592. He made his way to England where he ministered to the Catholic community until his arrest in 1606 in the wave of anti-Catholic measures that were taken following the Gunpowder Plot in November 1605. He was able to minister for so many years due partly to skill on his behalf and those who sheltered him. The Gunpowder Plot changed the atmosphere making it far more hostile to Catholics and he was fortunate to be one of a number of priests who were exiled from England rather than martyred in response to it. He soon returned to England and once more set about ministering to Catholics in secret. This he continued for about twenty years until he was arrested in 1628.
