Notes on October
- For Saints Simon and Jude (October 28), the app’s biography comes from the Wikipedia article on Jude 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.
