ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 30th of March
SAINT PASTOR, BISHOP OF ORLEANS
Although the Roman Martyrology* lists Saint Pastor, feast day March 30, as a bishop of Orleans, the Bollandists* consider this doubtful. Baronius*, quoting Ado and others, suggest that he may rather have been bishop at Spalatro in Dalmatia and to have died in exile in Orleans (III. 830).
