Saints celebrated on the 15th of June
SAINT LOTHARIUS, BISHOP OF SEEZ
Saint Lotharius, (June 15), French St-Loyer or St-Lothaire, was, according to Zedler*, the 16th bishop of Seez (Sagium) in Normandy and ruled from 725-756. Migne*, who lists his name (probably incorrectly) as Locarius, relates that he was a German by birth who led a hermit's life before his elevation to bishop. His successor was Saint Godegrandus. In the latter's biography listed on September 3rd (I. 764. no. 4.) the Bollandists* call our Lotharius "blessed". He died on June 15, 756.
