He is a holy patron of apple orchards; bishops; catechists; catechumens; cardinals; seminarians; spiritual directors; spiritual leaders; Lombardy, Italy; and Monterey California; and sought to assist in intestinal disorders; against ulcers; colic; and stomach diseases.

Saint Victor of Milan (†303) - was a Martyr Saint who served in the armies of Maximian, and by his order was tortured on the rack, and at length beheaded at Milan. His tomb famed for miracles and his feast day is commemorated on May 8th.
