Feast Day Altar of Saint Expedite. April 18th-20th, 2025.
Saint Expedite has long held a special place in the hearts of those seeking swift answers, decisive action, and courage in the face of delay. Though often overlooked in formal liturgy, he is beloved by the people—called upon in times of desperation, when the hour is late and the need is immediate. To the faithful, he is the bringer of miracles today, not tomorrow—a soldier-saint who holds the banner of hope in one hand and a cross marked HODIE (“today”) in the other.
In honor of his Feast Day on April 19th, Col. Welburn Kemp will be setting up a new altar at Ritualcravt, featuring a freshly consecrated statue of Our Holy Martyr. The altar will be open to the public from April 18th through 20th. You are invited to visit the storefront during open hours to light a candle, leave a petition, or bring a small offering, if you like, for this fiery intercessor. Monetary donations will be donated to a local charity working with local folks in urgent need of support.
For Col. Kemp, Saint Expedite is not merely a figure of folklore, but a living presence—a bold spirit who moves through hesitation, helps cut through fear, and teaches that devotion itself is a form of decisive action.
The celebration will culminate in a separate two-hour devotional class and community prayer (tickets available at the link below) on Sunday, April 20th, led by Col. Kemp. This session will include ritual offerings, invocations, and guidance on building your own relationship with Saint Expedite—whether you are in crisis, crossroads, or simply seeking to move forward with clarity.
Tickets for class available here:
Come ask, come offer, come honor the Saint who hears and acts.
Hodie. Non Cras.
