Saint Facundino de Tadino

Saint Facondinus (Tadinum, c. 500 – Tadinum, August 28, 607) was a Roman bishop of Tadinum, a Roman city on the Via Flaminia, 117 miles from Rome; he is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church. Gualdo Tadino attributes to him the title of "father of the fatherland of Gualdo" (in Latin, pater patriae Tadinum). Linked to his liturgical memory is that of his archdeacon, Juventinus, who, as was customary at the time, appears to have been his successor. As early as the Early Middle Ages, the feast of Saint Facondinus was celebrated on August 28, while that of Saint Juventinus was on September 2. The significance of the feast was such that, because August 28 coincided with the death of Saint Augustine, Saint Augustine was commemorated the following day in the Tadinum territory.
