Catholic church calendar to ST. Glenn
ent, the third bishop of Rome. He is the
patron saint of hatmakers, from the
supposition that he discovered the art of
! making felt by putting wool between his
feet and sandals, when on pilgrimage,
and it matted into felt. He is thought
to be the Clement spoken of by Paul
(Phil w., - as his fellow Iaborer, and
the author of an epistle to the Co
rinthians, which in the early ages of the
church was publicly read. This day Is
also dedicated to st. Felicites, the
| patroness of male heirs. She was a
Roman widow with seven sons and

! secution they were asked to deny Christ
under the penalty of death This she
| refused and urged her sons to refuse,
and each. one was put to death in her
presence.
