Saints celebrated on the 21st August
SAINT PATERNUS, MARTYR OF FUNDI
Today, we also commemorate Saint Paternus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Fundi, in Campania, Saint Paternus, a martyr, who came from Alexandria to Rome to visit the tomb of the Apostles. Thence he retired to the neighbourhood of Fundi, where, being seized by the tribune whilst he was burying the bodies of the martyrs, he died in captivity."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Paternus may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
