Saints celebrated on the 3rd of July
SAINT BRIDGET OF NOGENT, VIRGIN
According to Migne*, this Saint Bridget (Brigitta de Nogent) was a virgin who is venerated on July 3 in the area of Tours, and is nicknamed de Nogent because her feast is celebrated at Nogent-les-Vierges near Beauvais. However, on closer scrutiny this Saint appears to be identical to Saint Bridget.
