In Lichfield (England), Saint Chad (or Ceadda), bishop, who, in very difficult times, exercised the episcopal ministry in the territory of Mercia, Lindisfarne, and Mediterranean Anglia, a ministry which he sought to carry out with a life of great perfection according to the examples of the ancient Fathers.

  7. * At the Dachau concentration camp, in Oberbayern (Germany), Blessed Engelmar (Hubert) Unzeitig, priest of the Congregation of the Missionaries of Marianhilland and martyr.
