This page provides a list of the Saints of England. It is a liturgical listing, for it uses for its basis the liturgical calendar provided by the Roman Martyrology, edition 2004, the copyright for that being held by the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See in the Vatican City. This particular listing lists against the day of each month the name of each Saint and the date of his or her birth into life everlasting. May they pray for the Church in these countries, and may they pray for both England and Wales, whom they loved and gave their lives for.
