ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY
Saints celebrated on the 24th of January
BL. BERTRANNUS, ABBOT
Blessed Bertrannus (Ebertramnus), abbot of the monastery of St Quentin in Picardy, took the habit at Luxeuil with his friends Bertin and Momolenus and made, under the direction of St Eustasius, great progress in holiness.
GREAT PROGRESS IN HOLINESS
When Audomar had become bishop of Terouane, Bertrannus was sent to him by Abbot Walbert in A.D. 637. He was supposed to act as an assistant in the work in the apostolic field.
MOMOLEN MADE HIM ABBOT OF ST QUENTIN
However, when Momolen was appointed bishop of Noyon and Tournay in A.D. 659, he took Bl. Bertrannus with him and made him abbot of St Quentin. In that position, he died rich in merits around the year 680.
