ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 14th of August
Saint Felix, bishop and martyr, has been venerated at Gardumo (Cardunum) in Tyrol (Diocese of Trent), since time immemorial, where many miracles took place at his intercession. In 1719, his mortal remains were raised and transferred to a specially built chapel. A darkness lies over this saint, a lack of detailed information, which the learned researchers of Tyrol have not been able to clear up even to the present day, as a letter to us from Trent tells us.
