  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 16th of August WELCOME! SAINT SERENA, MARTYR OF ROME Saint Serena (commemorated on August 16 ) was a distinguished Roman lady converted by the deacon Cyriacus .  SHE GAVE THE BELIEVERS MUCH COMFORT AND HELP Many sources, including the  Roman Martyrology , refer to her as the wife of the Emperor Diocletian.
