Saints celebrated on the 19th of October
GERHARD HEUSSER, PRIEST
Gerhard Heusser (Gerardus), who is remembered on October 19, was a Franciscan priest from Worbis. (At the time of writing the monastery, which had been seized by the secular state, was used as a workhouse.) During Erfurt's terrible plague in 1683, Gerhard shone by his apostolic zeal and his charity towards the sick and dying. By his word and example, he also led many Protestants back to the true Church. (Hub. Men.)
