Saints celebrated on the 23rd of October
BLESSED PETER CAPUTIUS, PRIEST AND RELIGIOUS
Blessed Peter Caputius, of the Order of St Dominic, who was born in Tiferno, died at Cortona in A.D. 1445, after a lifetime of ceaselessly contemplating the transience of all earthly things in preparation for a happy death, and had completely detached himself from passing things. He had diligently tried to influence others in the same spirit through encouragement and sermons.
Blessed Peter is also commemorated on October 22.
