Felix and Augebert

Felix and Augebert were two young Englishmen, sold as slaves in France and ransomed by Pope Gregory the Great, who asked that they be taken to a monastery and prepared as missionaries for England. Felix was ordained priest and Augebert deacon, but they were killed by pagans in Champagne in the seventh century, before they could begin their mission. They are saints of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

Their commemoration falls on 6 September (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 19 September of the civil calendar.
