ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 3rd of November
ALPAÏS OF TOURNAI
Alpaïs, commemorated on 3 November, was a cattle-herdswoman at Tournai (Tornodorum), and is perhaps one and the same person with Alpaïs the Penitent.
Since she is not given a title in the source in which her name occurs (Elenchus), we do not know which class of saints she belongs to, but she probably is a "Blessed" or a "Venerable." (el.)
