ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY
Saints celebrated on the 8th of January
SAINT VULSIN, BISHOP OF SHIREBURN, CONFESSOR
William of Malmesbury informs us, that Saint Dunstan, when bishop of London, appointed Saint Vulsin abbot of twelve monks at Thorney, since called Westminster, where St Mellitus had built a church in honour of St Peter.
ABBOT OF TWELVE MONKS
St Vulsin was afterwards chosen bishop of Shireburn; his holy life was crowned with a happy death in 973. He is called Ultius by Matthew of Westminster; but his true ancient name, given by Capgrave, is Vulsin.
(From Fr Butler's Lives of the Saints)
