8 June
AT Aix, in France, St. Maximin, first bishop of that city, who is said to have been a disciple of our Lord.—The same day, St. Calliopa, martyr, who, for the faith of Christ, had her breasts cut off, her flesh burned, was rolled on broken pottery, and being lastly decapitated, received the palm of martyrdom. —At York, in England, St. William, archbishop and confessor, who, among other miracles wrought at his tomb, raised three persons from the dead. He was placed in the calendar of the Saints by Honorius III.—At Soissons, in France, the birthday of St. Medard, bishop of Noyon, whose life and precious death are illustrated by glorious miracles.—At Rouen, St. Gildard, bishop, brother of St. Medard. They were born on the same day, consecrated bishops at the same time, and being taken away from this life also on the same day, they entered heaven together.—At Sens, St. Heraclius, bishop.—At Metz, St. Clodulphus, bishop.—In the March of Ancona, St. Severin, bishop of Steptempeda.—In Sardinia, St. Sallustian, confessor.—At Camerino, St. Victorinus, confessor.
