I have the same question. Also, St. Servatius' feast day is shown as May 13, but he is not shown on that date in my Daily Missal, which is current. That date is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima.

I have the same question as Yvonne, about this saint as patron for foot problems. I haven't found anything so far in his life history that relates to feet. Can anyone answer this? Are there miracles attributed to him concerned with podiatry?
