Feastday: January 1
Died: 400

Also called Telemachus, a martyr and hermit who died in a Roman arena. He lost his life for protesting against the inhuman practice of having gladiators fight to the death for entertainment. During one of the events, Almachius entered the arena in Rome and demanded an end to the barbaric custom. He was promptly stoned to death by an irate crowd. His actions prompted Emperor Honorius to put end to the gladiatorial duels across the Roman Empire.

This is my saint for the month of January, incidentally the feast day for St. Almachius is January 1. He is to intercede for me in my three petition to Divine Mercy on the 40 days Novena ending on Sunday January20, 2013, the feast day of Blessed Micheal Iwene Tansi.
I present the job of my son Tochukwu Emmanuel for the blessing of God as I lost my job on October 12, 2012.
2. My wife's promotion to level 15 before her retirement on 1st July 2013.
3. God to bless my project 2013 for NAFDAC approval of satchet water factory so that it will pay my son's school fees up to graduation in the next three year, pay my brothers children's school fees up to univeristy level, and be able to do the charity required of me and take care of all my obligations.

Almachius and Telemachus. who both appear in your list, are the same person. Why don't you write a single entry for both?
Best regards,
Giacomo.
