ST. FIACRE – HERMIT: AUGUST 30

August 30, 2019 14:30 / Catholic Fun Facts

St. Fiacre was born in Ireland around the beginning of the 7th Century.  He went to Europe, and St. Faro, Bishop of Meaux, provided him with a plot of land for a hermitage.  He resumed leading the religious he had led in Ireland.  People from the surrounding regions came in droves to learn about Christianity.  He determined to help them; they were so far from home and without shelter.  The saintly hermit chopped down trees and built a place for them to shelter.  He cleared the land so they could grow vegetables for food.  The surrounding district converted to Christianity through his dedication and self-sacrifice.  He died around 675.  His shrine was famous for miraculous cures.
