Buono

Saint Buono, remembered as a presbyter of the early Church, is honored for his faithful priestly service in a time when Christian life often demanded quiet courage and steadfast devotion. Though little is known of the details of his birth or ministry, the Church keeps his memory as a witness to the enduring work of pastors who nourished the faithful through word, prayer, and sacrament. Saint Buono died in the year 260, leaving behind a legacy preserved not in extensive records but in the reverence of those who continued to invoke his name. He is especially venerated as patron of San Buono. The Church celebrates his feast day on August 1, inviting the faithful to seek his intercession and to imitate his humble fidelity to Christ and His people.
