ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER Saints celebrated on the 5th of September SAINT URBANUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS Today, we also commemorate Saint Urbanus and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states: "At Constantinople, the holy martyrs Urbanus, Theodore, Menedemus, and their ecclesiastical companions, seventy-seven in number, who were put in a ship by the command of the emperor Valens, and burned on the sea for the Catholic faith." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Urbanus, Theodore, Menedemus and Companions 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.
