ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 12th of April
SAINT PARCIUS, MARTYR OF ROME
Ferrarius* mentions Saint Parcius, an alleged martyr of Rome. He is also commemorated on April 11. The Bollandists* are not quite sure about him and therefore list Parcius among the Praetermissi (II. 64).
