Saint of the Day – 27 November – St John of Pavia (Died c813) Bishop

Saint of the Day – 27 November – St John of Pavia (Died c813) Bishop of Pavia between 801-813.

We know very little about John of Pavia except that which we have gleaned from the chronological records which claims that he was the Bishop of Pavia for 12 years.

John was highly regarded for his care of the poor, his insistence on clerical discipline and his work against vice in the general population of his Diocese.

Two of the most famous conversions due to the Miraculous medal was that of Fr Alphonse Ratisbonne NDS (1814-1884), an anti-Catholic Jewish banker and Claude Newman (1923-1944).
