Born in 600 AD in Ireland, raised in a monastery, became a monk, priest and abbot. Emigrated to France seeking greater solitude after Irish crowds grew seeking his holiness and cures. St. Faro, Bishop of Meaux, granted him as much land as he could turn up in a day; instead of a plough, he turned up the soil with the point of his staff, toppling trees and uprooting briers. Constructed a hermitage with a vegetable and herb garden, an oratory dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and a hospice for travelers. Lived a life of great mortification devoted to prayer, fasting, keeping vigils, and cultivation of his garden. “His fame for miracles was widespread, curing all manners of diseases by laying on his hands.” Patron of gardeners
