ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JULY Saints celebrated on the 7th of July SAINT PEREGRINUS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS Today, we also commemorate Saint Peregrinus and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states: "At Durazzo, in Macedonia, the holy martyrs Peregrinus, Lucian, Pompeius, Hesychius, Papius [Papias] , Saturninus, and Germanus, natives of Italy. In the persecution of Trajan, they took refuge in the town of Durazzo, where seeing the saintly bishop Astius hanging on a cross for the faith of Christ, they publicly declared themselves to be Christians, when, by order of the governor, they were arrested and cast into the sea." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Peregrinus, Lucian, Pompeius, Hesychius, Papius, Saturninus, and Germanus 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.
