Saints celebrated on the 10th of June
MARY OF WALCOURT, VIRGIN
Mary (Maria) was a Cistercian nun at the monastery of Walcourt (Vallencuria, in Belgium), who after her death appeared in great glory to the saintly Ascalina. Some writers call Mary "blessed" the Bollandists* list this holy sister among the Praetermissi, but she deserves, as Chalemot* does, to be numbered among the saints of that Order.
