Saints celebrated on the 15th of June
SAINT FORTUNATUS, BISHOP OF NAPLES
This saint was Bishop of Naples at the time of Pope Julius I. He died around the year 350 (on June 14). His body was buried in the church named after him, but in 763 it was moved to the church of St Stephen. Finally, in the 12th century, Archbishop Marinus solemnly transferred it to St Cuphebius. Because the feast of St Basil is celebrated on June 14, St Fortunatus' memorial was moved to June 15. His translation is commemorated on June 9.
