25th June - Saint Prosper of Reggio - Independent Catholic News

25th June - Saint Prosper of Reggio - Independent Catholic News: This fifth century bishop of Reggio in Italy, is not commemorated in the city's large cathedral, but in a small church tucked behind it. He served Reggio for more than 20 years and was much loved for his kindness and modesty. He cared so little about his own glory that he specially asked to be buried in the small church outside the city walls rather than the cathedral.
