Saint of the Day – 6 September – St Gondulphus (Died 823) Bishop of Metz from 816 until his death. Also known as – Gundulfus, Gondulf, Gondon.
As the Bishop, Gondulphus succeeded Angilram, who caused Paul the Deacon to write the ‘Liber de piscopis Mettensibus’ and who probably died in 791.
At the death of Angilram, our Saint, Gondulphus (ow whom we know little more than this) was chosen as his replacement in the See of Metz. The date of the Consecration of Bishop Gondulphus must be set down as probably 28 December 816. The old Episcopal catalogue of the Metz’ Church informs us that Gondulphus occupied the See for six years, eight months and seven days and that he died on the 6th of September in the year 823.
He was buried in the Monastery of Gorze, where his Relics are still honoured on 6 September.
