"At Rome," says The Roman Martyrology, "on The Ostian Way, the passion of Blessed Felix, Priest, under the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian. After being tortured on the rack and condemned to death, while he was led to the place of execution, he met a Christian, who publicly confessed his Faith and was beheaded with him. The Faithful, ignorant of his name, called him Adauctus, which means "Added", because he shared the triumph of Saint Felix (303 A.D.).

Mass: Sapiéntiam.
