Saint Deusdedit was a poor shoemaker in Rome in the sixth century, a contemporary of Saint Gregory the Great. Gregory relates that every Saturday he gave to the poor all that he had earned at his trade during the week.
He is commemorated on 10 August as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. He is not to be confused with Saint Deusdedit of Canterbury, commemorated on 14 July.
