  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 21st of May SAINT GAIUS, BISHOP OF PARETONIUM Saint Gaius lived at the time of the Arian heresy and was a staunch follower of St Athanasius. For this reason he was expelled from his episcopal see at Paretonium and sent into exile. He survived his sufferings, though, and was restored after the synod of Alexandria. The year of his death is unknown.  (Information from Stadler's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints, Volume 2, Augsburg, 1861) Stadler's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints - Sources and Abbreviations PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Gaius may increase our devotion and promote our salvation.
