ST. HUGH: April 1

April 1, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

Born in 1052 at Chateauneuf, France.  Though a layman, he became a canon of the cathedral in nearby Valence.  Bishop Hugh of Die recruited him as an aide.  He was so pleased with him that he took him into his own household.  He was employed in various affairs of importance and was later elected to the See of Grenoble.  He was ordained by the papal legate and the Pope in Rome consecrated him.  He cleaned up the various problems in the See.  He became a Benedictine but was ordered back to his See by Pope Gregory VII.  Because of his outstanding ability, he was refused his request to resign his See.  St. Bruno and his six companions went to St. Hugh telling him of their desire to found an order.  Hugh gave them the land on which the Grande Chartreuse was built and they founded the Carthusian Order.  After a lingering illness, St. Hugh died April 1, 1132.
