Saints celebrated on the 6th of June
BLESSED LORENZO DA VILLAMAGNA, PRIEST AND RELIGIOUS
[Lorenzo da Villamagna] Lawrence, a Franciscan of Ortona in the Naples area, died about 1536. In the Art. Mart.* he is called "blessed." In Hub. Men.* he appears as Laurentius de Villa magna on May 6, and if it says there that he died in 1563, that is just a misprint, as the year 1536 is stated correctly elsewhere in the same source. The Bollandists* list him on June 6.
