The Diocese of Clermont can likewise claim a number of monks whom the Church honours as saints, viz: Saint Calevisus (Calais, 460-541), a pupil in the monastery of Menat, whence he retired to Maine, where he founded the Abbey of Anisole; Saint Maztius (died 527), founder at Royat near Clermont of a monastery which became later a Benedictine priory; Saint Portianus (sixth century), founder of a monastery to which the city of Saint-Pourçain (Allier) owes its origin; Saint Etienne de Muret (1046-1124), son of the Viscount of Thiers and founder of the Order of Grandmont in Limousin, and Saint Peter the Venerable (1092-1156), of the Montboissier family of Auvergne, noted as a writer and Abbot of Cluny.

ST LAURA OF CORDOBA, WIDOW AND MARTYR - 19 OCTOBER

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER Saints celebrated on the 19th of October WELCOME! SAINT LAURA OF CORDOBA, WIDOW AND MARTYR   Laura, a widow and martyr of  Cordoba  in Spain, is mentioned in the Spanish martyrology of Tamajode Salazar, who refers to Luitprand, where it says the following: St Laura is said to have been of a noble family, and  according to the wishes of her parents she married an equally noble man and gave birth to two daughters.  After the death of her husband and her daughters, she went to the monastery of St Aurea, named St-Maria de Cuteclara, and after her martyrdom led the same for nine years as her successor.  After she had made wonderful progress in all virtues, she was finally summoned to renounce the faith before a Saracen judge.
