Saint of the Day – 14 June – Saint Quintian (Died c525) Bishop of Rodez and of Clermont, France in the 6th Century. Our St Quintian acutally died in his See at Clermont and not at Rodez as stated in the Martyrology. Also known as – Quintianus, Quinctianus, Quintien, … of Rodez … of Clermont.
The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Rodez, St Quinctian, Bishop.”
Tradition has made Quintian a native of Africa and a Priest of Carthage who fled to France due to the persecutions of the Vandals.
At the death of Saint Amantius (Amans) in 487, Quintian succeeded him as the Bishop of Rodez. During the war between the Franks and the Goths, he was a zealous supporter of Clovis I.
To avoid the persecutions of the Arian Visigoths, he took refuge in Auvergne, where he was hospitably received by Bishop Euphrasius of Clermont.
On the death of the latter, Quintian succeeded to the See of Clermont which he occupied until his death on 13 November 525 or 526 but his Feastday has always been commemorated on 14 June, thought to be the day of his Consecration as the Bishop of Clermont.
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
