Sts. Nereus & Achilleus - Saints & Angels - Catholic Online



Sts. Nereus & Achilleus, Roman Catholic Martyrs, soldiers in the Roman army where they helped carry out the persecution of Christians. They probably had nothing against Christians and didn't carry for the bloody slaughter they were commanded to perform, but they obeyed these cruel orders out of fear of dying themselves. After all, that was what soldiers have always been expected to do. Prayer; Saints Achilleus and Nereus, pray for those in the military and armed forces throughout the world that they may always see God as their authority and obey God's orders first. Amen Feast May 12

St. Quentin, Roman Catholic Missionary and Martyr. He went to Gaul as a missionary with St. Lucian of Beauvais, and settled at Amiens in Picardy. He was so successful in preaching that he was imprisoned by prefect Rictiovarus, tortured, and then brought to Augusta Veromanduorum, where he was again tortured and then was beheaded. Feastday Oct 31
