ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER
Saints celebrated on the 14th of October
SAINT GAUDENTIUS OF RIMINI, BISHOP AND MARTYR
Saint Gaudentius was a 4th century Bishop and Martyr; feast day: October 14.
Born at Ephesus, he came to Rome about A.D. 308, and embraced the Ecclesiastical state. He was ordained priest A.D. 332.
Fourteen years later he became Bishop of Rimini, and suffered with the other Catholic prelates from the Arians, who dominated the famous Council of A.D. 357. In fine, he was done to death by these enemies of the Faith (A.D. 359 or A.D. 360).
From The Book of Saints, 1921, by the Monks of Ramsgate
