The Catholic calendar commemorates venerable figures of the Church, covering both saints and blesseds, assigning them a specific date for their memory. Among the approximately 10,000 personalities that the Catholic Church honors, each day is dedicated to the memory of a select group, with June 25 being the date on which, among others, Saint Maximus of Turin is celebrated.
