'Tis the Memorial of Saint Leo the Great, Pope & Doctor of the Church (circa 400-461), forty-fifth Bishop of Rome: Doctor-link ūnus, Doctor-link duo, & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer bulletin:

He was a pope & doctor, whose pontificate the Council of Chalcedon (451) defined that Christ is one divine person with two natures, divine & human. He vigorously defended the unity of the Church.

I attended Mass at Holy Family on Monday (no Mass is celebrated at Holy Redeemer on Monday), but there were no parish bulletins to be had.

'Tis also the feast of Saint Grellan, Missionary (fifth century): Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Our sources are unclear on whether St. Grellan was a priest or a bishop, but both seem likely.

'Tis also the feast of Saint Baudolino, Hermit (circa 700-740): Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.
