St. Phoebe (1st century A.D.) was a deaconess of the church at Cenchreae, the port of Corinth. She is mentioned in Romans 16:1-2 where she was praised by St. Paul for her assistance to him and to many others. St. Paul recommended her to the Christian congregation at Rome.
St. Remaclus (d. ca. 960 A.D.) was born in Aquitaine. He studied under St. Sulpicius and was ordained. He was appointed by St. Eligius as the first bishop of Solignac and then he later served as the abbot of Cugnon in Luxembourg. In about 684 A.D., at the court of King Sigebert III, he was persuaded to found the double monastery of Stavelot and Malmedy in Ardennes. Widely venerated for his austerities and holiness, he also became abbot of that double monastery.
