Saint of the Day – 2 September – Saint Lanfranco of Vercelli (5th Century) Bishop of Vercelli in Italy. Most information regarding his life is unknown.
Lanfranco was the eleventh in the chronology of the Bishops of Vercelli, Italy, successor to Saint Emiliano I. He governed the Diocese for nine years, at the end of the 5th Century.
It is recorded: “After his death, he was canonically acclaimed as a Saint by all writers, both in Vercelli and foreign”.
The name of this holy Bishop of Vercelli has never been included in the Roman Martyrology but it does indicates how legitimate the cult as “Saints” and “Blessed” of those to whom these titles have been recognised for centuries, in the Diocesan calendars and catalogues.
