ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 1st of November
REGIMBODO, ABBOT
The third abbot at Hirschau, Regimbodo, is commemorated on November 1. Descended from a noble Bavarian family, he was called to religious life from an early age. Having been a canon at the cathedral church in Constance, he decided to seek admission to the Hirschau monastery.
There, following the death of Abbot Gerungus, he was elected in his place. However, he renounced this dignity shortly afterwards and instead spent the rest of his life in great severity, as it were as a penance for having accepted this honourable position, until he died a holy death in A.D. 896.
