Monday, 28 June, was the memorial of Saint Samson of Dol (circa 485-565), also known as Saint Samson of York: Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.
Sunday, 27 June, we remember the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus (d. circa 250): Saints-link & Wikipedia-link.
Commentary: Neither the parish bulletin nor the AmericanCatholic.org website listed the seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time as the particular feast of any saint. So, using my own discretion, I chose to honor the Seven Sleepers, chosen from a longer list of saints to memorialize on 27 July. I like my religion like I like my politics, just that little bit crazy. Thus, the Seven Sleepers.
