  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 27th of January WELCOME! SAINT JULIAN, BISHOP OF MANS Saint Julian , (January 27), Apostle and first Bishop of Mans ( Cenomanorum ) in France, is considered by some to be Simon the Leper, at whose home in Bethany Jesus dined (according to Matthew 26:6). Some accounts say he was sent to France to preach the Gospel by Saint Peter, while others attribute this mission to Saint Clement. According to the biography by the monk Lethaldus - which Bollandus * presents based on three ancient manuscripts under the date of January 27 (I. 762) - Saint Julian was a highly respected Roman. He was chosen by God as an Apostle for Le Mans, just as Saint Photinus was for Lyon, Saint Trophimus for Arles, Saint Paul for Narbonne, Saint Saturninus for Toulouse, Saint Austremonius for Auvergne (Clermont), Saint Martial for Limoges, Saint Gatianus for Tours, and Saint Dionysius for Paris.

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE Saints celebrated on the 12th June WELCOME! SAINT BASILIDES AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS These holy men, Saints Basilides , Cyrinus, Nabor , and Nazarius (June 12), martyrs under Diocletian, were Roman soldiers distinguished by both birth and valor. Because they proclaimed the Christian doctrine to Emperor Diocletian, they were seized by the City Prefect Aurelius and - refusing to sacrifice to the Roman gods - thrown into a dungeon, which was suddenly illuminated by a heavenly light in response to their prayers. Moved by this miraculous event, the jailer Marcellus, along with many others, converted to the Christian faith. Later, having steadfastly professed their faith before Emperor Maximian, they were scourged with scorpions (a type of scourge) and once again cast into prison. Finally, they were beheaded and their bodies thrown to wild beasts; the animals, however, did not touch them, and the Christians subsequently gave them an honourable burial. The ...
