In 1969 a number of saints were removed from the Calendar (not from the Church) because there was not enough evidence that they ever existed or had led a life of heroic virtue. Some of those removed: St. Christopher, St. Philomena, St. Barbara of Nicomedia, St. Ursula, St. Dorothy, St. Valentine of Rome, St. Catherine of Alexandria and others. Churches named for these saints were not required to change anything and people were allowed to continue their private devotions to these questionable saints. In 2002 St. Catherine of Alexandria was returned to the Calendar when a diary written by her surfaced in Ethiopia.
