ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 21st August WELCOME! SAINT ADELHELM, BISHOP Adelhelm, who, as Mabillon says, is incorrectly called Adelinus by some, was first a monk in the monastery of St Carilesus in Mans. Afterwards he was Bishop of Saons (Sagiensis). BISHOP OF SAONS The reasons why he is sometimes counted among the "saints" cannot be established. He refers to himself in the acts of St Opportuna, which he wrote, as a minor bishop and a monk and servant of St Carilesus. He lived towards the end of the ninth century. Information from Stadler's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints, 1858 PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Adelhelm, your blessed bishop, may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
