Saints celebrated on the 13th of June
SAINT JOSEPH, BISHOP
In the Carmelite calendar of Mechelen, this Saint Joseph (Josephus) is listed as bishop. The Acies bene ordinata calls him a bishop of Emmaus. Wiltsch's "Ecclesiastical Statistics" indeed features (I. 209) a bishopric in Emmaus or Nicopolis. (II. 665.)
