ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER Saints celebrated on the 2nd of October WELCOME! SAINT URSICINUS, BISHOP OF CHUR Ursicinus, a Benedictine monk, led the transformation of the Sigisbert cell founded around 720 in Disentis [Switzerland] into a Benedictine monastery and led it as abbot before he became bishop of Chur (in 754). In 758 he renounced the office of bishop to spend his remaining time on earth seeing to his soul by prayer and fasting. To this end he retired to a hermitage, where he died on October 2 around 760. Information from Stadler's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints, 1858 - 🎨 Disentis, 1821 PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Ursicinus may increase our devotion and promote our salvation.
