Saints of May
In MySavior’s Saint of the Day calendar, each of the 31 days of May has its own saint or feast: 27 saints, 1 Blessed and 3 feasts or commemorations. Each row links to the English Wikipedia article behind that day’s biography in the app.

Notes on May
- Saint Joseph (March 19) and Saint Joseph the Worker (May 1) use the same Wikipedia article (Saint Joseph), so the app shows the same biography on both days.
- For Saints Philip and James (May 3), the app’s biography comes from the Wikipedia article on Philip the Apostle.
Names are shown exactly as the app shows them. The day-to-saint matching loosely follows the General Roman Calendar of the Catholic Church, with some United States dates, so a saint may fall on another day in your local calendar. How the days are chosen.
