Memorial of Saints (July 20)

Apollinarius: Early accounts report that Saint Apollinarius was ordained Bishop by Peter himself and sent as a missionary bishop to Ravenna during the reign of the emperor Claudius. Renowned for his powers to heal in the name of Christ, he was frequently exiled, tortured and imprisoned for the faith, and finally martyred. He is also known as Apollinaris of Ravenna and some martyrologies and calendars celebrate his feast day on July 23.

also on July 20: Wilgefortis or Liberta; Joseph Barsabas; Aurelius, bishop; Flavian and Elias, bishops; Vulmar or Wulmar, abbot; Ansegisus, abbot
