  1. The Memorial of Saint Hilary, bishop and doctor of the Church. Raised to the see of Poitiers (France) under the Emperor Constantius, a follower of the Arian heresy, he courageously defended the faith of Nicaea on the Trinity and the divinity of Christ in his writings, which earned him four years of exile in Phrygia. He also wrote renowned commentaries on the Psalms and on the Gospel of Matthew. († 367)

  2. At Singidinum (now Belgrade, Serbia), the Holy martyrs Hermylius and Stratonicus. After terrible torments, they were thrown in the Danube River under the Emperor Licinius. († c. 310)

  3. In Trier (Germany), Saint Agricius, bishop, who transformed a palace donated by Saint Helen into a church. († c. 330)

  4.  In Reims (France), the burial of Saint Remigius, bishop. After King Clovis was initiated in the sacred baptismal font and the sacraments of faith, he converted the Franks to Christ. After more than sixty years of episcopate, he left this life famed for his holiness. († c. 530)

  5. * In Glasgow (Scotland), Saint Kentigern, bishop and abbot, who established his episcopal see in this city. It is said that he gathered there a large crowd of monks according to the way of life of the early Church. († 603)

  6. In Capitolias (now Beit Ras, Jordan), Saint Peter, priest and martyr. Accused before Walid, leader of the Saracens, of preaching the faith of Christ in the streets, his tongue, hands, and feet were cut off and, nailed to a cross, he consummated the martyrdom he had longed for. († 713)

  7. In Cordoba (Spain), the Holy martyrs Gumesind, priest, and Servusdei, monk. For having confessed before the Moorish princes and judges that they were Christians, they were beheaded. († 852)

  8. * At the monastery of Ilbenstadt (Germany), Saint Godfrey. As count of Kappenberg, he wanted to transform his castle into a monastery, against the will of his people. After receiving the habit of a canon regular from Saint Norbert, he ardently dedicated himself to the care of the poor and the sick. († 1127)

  9. * In Huy, near Liège (Belgium), Blessed Jutta, widow, who devoted herself to caring for lepers and ended her life near them as a recluse. († 1228)

  10. * In Milan (Italy), Blessed Veronica Negroni from Binasco, virgin. She entered the monastery of Saint Martha, under the Rule of Saint Augustine, and rose to the highest contemplation. († 1497)

  11. In Nam Định (Vietnam), in 1859, the Holy martyrs Dominic [Ðaminh] Phạm Trọng Khảm, Luke [Luca] Phạm Trọng Thìn, his son, and Joseph [Giuse] Phạm Trọng Tả, who, under Emperor Tự Đức, preferred to suffer torture and death rather than trampling on the cross. († 1859)

  12. * In Acri (Italy), Blessed Francesco Maria Greco, diocesan priest and founder of the Congregation of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts, dedicated to catechizing children, young people, and adults. († 1931)

  13. * In Casillas de Martos, near Jaén (Spain), Blessed Francisca of the Incarnation (María Francisca Espejo Martos), nun of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity and martyr, who merited the eternal marriage with Christ her Spouse. († 1937)

  14. * At the Dachau concentration camp, in Oberbayern (Germany), Blessed Emil Szramek, diocesan priest and martyr. During the Second World War, he was inhumanly deported to this camp where he suffered atrociously and died for defending his faith in Christ before his persecutors. († 1942)
