Catholic Church commemorates saints on July 29

On Wednesday, 29 July 2026, the Catholic liturgical calendar lists a number of saints and blesseds to be celebrated, most prominently Santa Marta de Betania, revered in Mexico as patron of housewives and hoteliers. The commemorations also include saints such as San Calimero, San Lázaro, Santa María, San Olaf, and several beati.

The preceding day's entry, 28 July, highlighted early‑century martyrs San Nazario and San Celso, whose witness is remembered across Europe, particularly in Spain. Both days illustrate the Church’s daily practice of honoring historical figures of faith.
