Hi Ed,

I won't dispute your Latin but the churchbook did say "Festo". Of course,
all were "feasts".

Besides that, there is the abbreviation for something between Festo and
Sanct:. I say that it is most likely for Omnium. The date of the mother's
introduction would also provide a clue as to the bithdate.
