ATTRACTA (ATHRACHT) of KILLARAGHT, (Fifth Century), St. Attracta is believed to have been a contemporary of St. Patrick of Ireland (17th March), from whom it is thought she received monastic tonsure. She went on to found monasteries in Co. Sligo (north-western Ireland) and neighbouring Co. Roscommon. St. Attracta was renowned for her charity and the hospitality she extended to travellers and the homeless.

CHROMATIUS the PREFECT, (Third Century), the father of St. Tiburtius of Rome (vide infra). Whilst Præfectus Urbi of Rome, St. Chromatius was converted to Christianity by St. Tranquillinus of Rome (6th July) and baptised by St. Polycarp of Rome (23rd February).

DIGNA of TODI, (Fourth Century), an anchoress in the mountains near Todi in Umbria (central Italy). Living a life of prayer, St. Digna was known for her holiness of life. Though she flourished during the Diocletianic Persecution (303–313), it seems she was not one of its martyrs.

EQUITIUS (EQUIZIO) of VALERIA, greatly influenced St. Benedict of Nursia (11th July), St. Equitius was the founder of a number of monasteries in the region of Valeria Suburbicaria (present-day L'Aquila-Rieti-Tivoli, Italy). St. Gregory the Dialogist (3rd September) speaks highly of him in his Dialogues. St. Equitius reposed circa 570 at the monastery of San Lorenzo di Pizzoli in Aquila (southern Italy), one of the monasteries which he had founded.

GAUGERICUS (GAU, GÉRY) of CAMBRAI, a native of Trier in the present-day German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, who was circa 585 consecrated Bishop of Cambrai-Arras (northern France). Gaugericus assisted at the Council of Paris held in October 614. St. Gaugericus reposed circa 625 after an episcopate of thirty-nine years.

LELIA, (Date Unknown), there is no recorded information on the life of St. Lelia, though observances of her feast have been documented for hundreds of years. There are several places in Ireland whose names are derived from Lelia, including Killeely (Cill Liadaini), Co. Limerick.

RUFINUS of MARSI and COMPANIONS, (Date Unknown), there is a St. Rufinus, Bishop of the Marsi, and his companions, martyred during the reign of Emperor Maximinus I (r. 235–238) amongst the saints commemorated on 11th August in the Roman Martyrology. However, he is in all likelihood the same as the St. Rufinus (of Assisi) commemorated on 30th July.

SUSANNA of ROME, the daughter of St. Gabinus (19th February) and niece of a Caius, variously identified as either Pope St. Caius (22 April) or Caius, Presbyter of Rome, the third century Churchman and apologist. St. Susanna was beheaded by order of the Emperor Diocletian (r. 284–305), also a relative, in her father's house circa 295. The house in which she was martyred, as well as the one next door, belonging to her uncle, were converted into a church which later became St. Susanna ad duas domos in Rome. For reasons no longer known she is frequently grouped with St. Tiburtius of Rome (vide infra) on calendars, though there is no connexion between them.

TAURINUS of EVREUX, traditionally reckoned the first Bishop of Evreux in Normandy (northern France). He reposed circa 410–412, there is no further information extant.

TIBURTIUS of ROME, the only son of St. Chromatius the Prefect (vide supra). St. Tiburtius was martyred c. 286 by beheading at the third mile-stone of the Via Lavicana, Rome. He is mentioned in the legends of St. Sebastian (20th January) who is said to have been his Godfather. St. Tiburtius was entombed in the Inter duas lauros cemetery on the Via Lavicana in Rome. For reasons no longer known he is frequently grouped with St. Susanna of Rome (vide supra) on calendars, though there is no connexion between them.

AUDOENUS (OUEN, OWEN) of ROUEN, whilst serving as chancellor to Clovis II, King of Neustria and Burgundy (r. 639–657) St. Audoenus met and formed a close friendship with St. Eligius of Noyon (1st December). They resolved to enter the Church and together were consecrated bishops; St. Eligius of Noyon (northern France), and St. Audoenus succeeding St. Romanus of Rouen (23rd October) as Bishop of Rouen in Normandy (northern France). St. Audoenus served his See for over forty years, doing much to promote Christianity and was acclaimed a saint shortly after his repose, at Clichy, near Paris, in 684.

AUREA of OSTIA, from the many accounts of the life of St. Aurea it may be deduced that after being subjected to a multitude of tortures, she was martyred by being thrown into the sea at Ostia near Rome circa 270.

BREGOWINE (BREGWIN) of CANTERBURY, little is known of the life of St. Bregowine, as there are no contemporary records extant, though some of his letters to St. Lull of Mainz (16th October) still survive. His Life by Eadmer of Canterbury, a twelfth century Anglo-Saxon Benedictine monk and historian (†c.1126), offers little more than the dates of his tenure as the twelfth Archbishop of Canterbury, and allusions to ‘many miracles’. St. Bregowine reposed in 764 and was buried in the Chapel of St. John the Baptist at the East end of Canterbury Cathedral.

PATRICE (PATRICK, PATRICIUS), (Date Unknown), both the Martyrology of Usuard and the old Roman Martyrology (which was based upon Usuard's work) list a St. Patrice an Abbot of Nevers in present-day France on this date. However, there is nothing definitively known about this St. Patrice, and he is not listed in more recent martyrologies.

PATRICK the ELDER, this saint is known as St. Patrick the Elder to differentiate him from his celebrated namesake and possible relative, St. Patrick of Ireland (17th March). Few details of his life are known to us. It is variously reported that he reposed circa 450 at Kilkenny, Co. Kilkenny in Ireland, or at Glastonbury, Somerset, in England, though it seems that at some point his relics were enshrined at Glastonbury. Neither of these Irish St. Patricks are to be confused with the St. Patrice (vide supra), purported Abbot of Nevers in France.

PTOLEMY of NEPI, (First Century), a disciple of the Apostle Peter (29th June) who sent him to evangelise the people of Lazio (central Italy). St. Ptolemy was martyred at Nepi in Lazio.

ROMANUS of NEPI, a Bishop and martyr of Nepi in Lazio (central Italy). He is generally considered to have been a disciple of St. Ptolemy of Nepi (vide supra), and was sent by the Apostle Peter (29th June) to accompany St. Ptolemy on his mission.

SANDRATUS (SANDRADUS), a monk at St. Maximin's Abbey (Reichsabtei St. Maximin) at Trier in the present-day German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Charged by Otto I the Great, Holy Roman Emperor (r. 936–973) to institute needed reforms at the Abbey of St. Gall (Abtei St. Gallen) in the present-day Swiss city of St. Gallen. Having successfully completed that mission, St. Sandratus was Founding-Abbot of Gladbach Abbey (abtei St. Vitus Gladbach) in the present-day city of Mönchengladbach in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. He later served as Abbot of Weissenburg Abbey (Kloster Weißenburg), in present-day Wissembourg, Alsace, France. St. Sandratus reposed in 986.

YRCHARD (MERCHARD, IRCHARD, YARCARD), Apostle of the Picts, (Fifth Century), St. Yrchard was a disciple of St. Ternan of Culross (12th June) who consecrated him missionary bishop to work amongst the Picts. Nothing further about St. Yrchard is known to us.
