Pope Saint Cletus
Also known as:
Anacletus
memorial
26 April
Profile
Our Saint for today was the third Pope, after Peter, and Linus but before Evaristus, Alexander, Clement and Sixtus. He was converted to the faith and ordained by Saint Peter himself. He ordained an undetermined number of priests during his reign, and he divided Rome into parishes, but almost nothing else is known about him other than he was a martyr.
Cletus, along with Linus, Clement, Sixtus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Chyrisoginous and almost everyone else except Saints Evaristus and Alexander, for some reason, is mentioned in the never ending Eucharistic Prayer #1 the Roman Canon. He was martyred around the year 78 his relics are in the Church named after his predecessor, Saint Linus, Vatican City
