St. Kevin . . . 498-618
Memorial Day - June 3

You were privileged to live in the Age of Saints, O Father Kevin
being baptised by one saint, taught by another and buried by a third.
Pray to God that He will raise up saints in our day
to help, support and guide us into the Way of salvation.

Profile
Born blind to the family of Alsatian Lord Aldaric and Bereswinda who put her out because of her disability. Rather that having her killed, she was given to a peasant family. Taken in by a convent at age twelve, she gained her sight upon being touched by chrism during her baptism by Saint Erhard of Regensburg. Her brother wanted her back for use in an arranged marriage; when he heard of his son's machinations and Odilia's miraculous healing, her father was so angry that he struck and killed the brother. Odilia she fled back to the convent to escape the marriage, and her family gave up the idea. She joined the abbey, and eventually became abbess. Founded the Odilienberg monastery at Niedermunster.
Born
c.660 at Oberheim in the Vosges Mountains
Died
13 December 720 at Niedermunster; buried in a chapel near the convent church on the Odilienberg
Patronage
Alsace, eye disease, eye problems

God Conquers

Yikes!

We've got the cross in there held high... so he's a missionary... devotion to the Eucharist and the WORD... in front of a south or central american village.

I have no idea.

Any clues?

Piccoli Fiori JMJ

Maybe it is St Lawrence of Brindisi, Doctor of Conversions and Missions... Although I think he was a Capuchin...


What is that white thing in his hand with the Gospel? It looks like a knife or something...
