St. Apollinaris, Bishop and Martyr.
St. Apollinaris, first Bishop of Ravenna, and, according to tradition, a disciple of St. Peter, suffered martyrdom during the reign of the Emperor Vespasian.
St. Vincent de Paul, Confessor.
Si. Vincent was born in the south of France. Having been ordained priest, his heart was touched by the state of spiritual destitution in which he found the remoter country districts of France. The remedy for this appeared to him to be a series
of retreats or missions, by which the people might be taught their duties to God and man, and at the same time earnestly exhorted to fulfil them. For this purpose St. Vincent instituted a congregation of priests, popularly known in English-speaking countries as Vincentians. He was also led by a spirit of ardent charity to found numerous hospitals, asylums, and orphanages, and to establish confraternities for the education of youth, the service of the sick, and the relief of the destitute. St. Vincent died in 1660, at the age of eighty-five.
