Saint Roch (Rocco) was died on August 16, 1327 under the Julian calendar, who is known as the Patron Saint of Dogs. This is his feast day in the Catholic Calendar.
Catholics have many feast days. It was how the church assisted the ruling class in keeping the peace. Feast days are a way to keep serfs and peasants from being disillusioned with life. By providing feast days throughout the year, the common people who worked the land were given many days off (far more than the 52 Saturdays and 6 national holidays currently allotted in the US). Sundays were already a day of rest per the bible. This allowed them to enjoy life and assuaged them from rebellion against the aristocracy...just in case you were wondering why there are so many Catholic feast days.
