  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JULY Saints celebrated on the 10th of July WELCOME!

Continually repulsed, Charles finally attempted to carry her off by force, but though he broke her arm in the struggle he was unable to move her from the altar before which she had prostrated herself.  MANY MIRACLES ARE ATTRIBUTED TO HER INTERCESSION The royal lover was forced to abandon his suit, and left her in peace.

She died July 10, [690, at Maubeuge Abbey. She is invoked against fever, arm injuries, sick children and is patron saint of Ghent] Source: Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 ➡️ More information about Saint Amalia
