Alexander of Rome
Feast: 10 July (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Rome, the holy martyrs Felix and Philip in the cemetery of Priscilla, Vitalis, Martial and Alexander in that of the Jordani, Silanus in that of Maximus, and Januarius in that of Praetextatus: in their joint memory the Church of Rome rejoices, glorified on a single day by so many triumphs, because from so great a harvest of examples it draws the support of abundant intercession.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 10 July as a martyr of Rome buried in the cemetery of the Jordani.
