ERLEFRID, ABBOT
Erlefrid (Erlefridus), third abbot of Sithiu in Belgium, succeeded Saint Rigobert. Saint Bertin chose Erlefrid, whom he had trained and who was one of his most excellent students. A very virtuous monk, too, Erlefrid spent much of the day and night in prayer. He also was blessed with the gift of miracles. (Mg.)
