SAINT EXPEDITUS
Also known as Elpidius
MEMORIAL
19th April
PROFILE
Possibly legendary. Unclear whether his name led to his association with expeditious matters, or the other way around. This association led to his becoming the patron of people who had to deliver things on time.
CANONIZED
Pre-congregation
PATRONAGE
against procrastination, for expeditious solutions, of merchants and navigators (and maybe also harried university students?)
REPRESENTATION
young Roman soldier holding aloft a cross; young Roman soldier holding aloft a banner with the word "hodie"
Talk to you soon,

Quote for the Day: The discipline of colleges and universities is in general contrived, not for the benefit of the students, but for the interest, or more properly speaking, for the ease of the masters. (Adam Smith)
