The Roman Martyrology states:  "In Campania, Saint Dominica, virgin and martyr, in the time of the emperor Diocletian. For having destroyed idols, she was condemned to the beasts, but being uninjured by them, she was beheaded and departed for heaven. Her body is kept with great veneration at Tropea, in Calabria." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Dominica may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 13th of May SAINT DOMINICA OF LAKE COMO, VIRGIN Saint Dominica, a virgin of Lake Como, Italy, lived in the 6th century. After her death she was buried by her brother, the holy bishop Agrippinus of Como. She is solemnly venerated in a church in the Diocese of Como, and is believed by some to have been a nun; but it is highly probable that she did live in the world rather than at a monastery.
