Saint Henry Morse, one of the Catholic Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.

Born a Protestant in 1595 at Brome, Suffolk, England, he converted to Catholicism, studied for the priesthood in Rome and joined the Jesuits in 1626. Worked as a covert priest in London, and among plague victims in 1636, he caught the plague himself but recovered from it. Betrayed to the authorities by an informer, he was briefly imprisoned in 1638. He ministered to people around the countryside of southern England for years. He was arrested and convicted for practising as a Catholic priest and hanged, drawn, and quartered on 1 February 1645 at Tyburn, London.

Venerated from 8 December 1929, and beatified 15 December 1929, and made one of the Forty Martyrs in 1970.
